Synopsis
Excerpt from Body-Build and Its Inheritance
If a hundred men of about the same stature be compared, it is seen that they vary greatly in weight. At the same time they vary in form, and especially in bulk. This variation is popularly recognized by the variety of terms applied to build. It may be of interest to pause a moment to consider popular terminology relating to build. We have, first, terms expressing a marked deviation below the normal build. We speak of persons as slender, thin, gaunt, slim.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the concepts of body build and how much of it is determined by nature versus nurture. The author explores the genetic and environmental factors that influence weight, with particular attention to heredity. The author has gathered data from numerous sources, including medical records, family histories, and personal interviews, to support the hypothesis that build is largely determined by genetics but can also be influenced by disease and other environmental factors. The book also discusses the relationship between build and health, and the implications of this for understanding and treating obesity. Ultimately, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the complex interplay between genetics, environment, and body build, offering valuable insights for researchers, healthcare professionals, and anyone interested in understanding the factors that shape our physical form.
