Paperback. Condition: New. Human beings may share 98 percent of their genetic makeup with their nonhuman primate cousins, but they have distinctive life histories. When and why did these uniquely human patterns evolve? To answer that question, this volume brings together specialists in hunter-gatherer behavioral ecology and demography, human growth, development, and nutrition, paleodemography, human paleontology, primatology, and the genomics of aging. The contributors identify and explain the peculiar features of human life histories, such as the rate and timing of processes that directly influence survival and reproduction.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. As a health coach, Jill's job is to help clients develop realistic, sustainable, and healthy lifestyle habits. With so much information available today, many people don't know where to begin or what to believe about how to live a healthy lifestyle. Many of us have little desire to do the research and learn the basics because we are often overwhelmed by what we believe we have to do to live a healthier lifestyle. Often, books are long and complicated we don't want to invest the time to finish them. Because we hear or read so much conflicting information, we choose to simply do nothing. Fad diets and highly marketed pharmaceutical drugs play on our American impatience for an easy way to solve weight loss and health issues. But when the easy way fails us, we continue to eat unhealthy foods and live sedentary lifestyles that contribute to this circle of unhealthy living, leading to disease as we age. Jill's point of view is that it's easier than you think to achieve a life of vitality at any age, given the right mindset and a little discipline. This book is meant to be a resource that shares information she has learned, and feels is important to pass on. By sharing easy to adopt strategies for weight loss and living with vitality, her hope is that this short, easy to read, no nonsense approach to this message will inspire you to create these sustainable health habits into your own life.
