Growth of the Facial Skeleton in the Hominoidea
Book N e w s Included in this section are those books which have been received for review, or of which we have otherwise been informed. The mention of a book in this section does not preclude subsequent review in the Journal.
Sex and Evolution (Monographs in Population Biology, 8). By G. O. Williams. 1975. Princeton: Princeton University Press. A vol. in-8 °, x + 2 0 2 pp., 17 figs, bibl., index. Paper £2.60; bound £7-10.
This book explores the relationship between various types of reproduction and the evolutionary process. The final chapters examine the effect of genetic recombination on the evolutionary process itself. Contents
An important question, its easy answer, and the consequent paradox. The aphid-rotifer model. The strawberry-coral model. The elm-oyster model. Other models. Natural selection in high-fecundity populations: theory. Natural selection in high-fecundity populations: evidence on viability. Natural selection in high-fecundity populations: evidence on fertility. Derived low-fecundity populations. Patterns of sexuality. Why are males masculine and females feminine and, occasionally, vice versa ? Sex as a factor in organic evolution. Sex as a factor in biotic evolution.
Growth of the Facial Skeleton in By W. J. Moore & C. L. B. Lavelle. York & San Francisco: Academic viii -k 236 pp., 30 figs, 35 tabs, bib1.,
the Hom/r, oldea 1974. London, New Press. A vol. in-8 °, index. Bound £6"60.
The present volume is intended to present the work of the orthodontists in a biological rather than a clinical context. The first three sections deal with the growth of the human facial skeleton. In the final section, these topics are placed within their phylogenetic background by a comparative account of facial growth within the Hominoidea. This book will be of special interest to physical anthropologists, embryologists and osteogeneticists. Contents
Preface. The pattern of growth in the facial skeleton of Homo sapiens. Sites of facial growth in'Homo sapiens. The control of facial growth. Comparative aspects of facial growth with special reference to the Hominoidea.
