Alterations of Human Adaptation to Environment

Abstract

The problem of human adaptation is so funda-mental that many textbooks appeared so far.The author briefly took up this subject previously (Ueda, 1984), so the topics will be reiterated not from the same point of view, but from the other angles.Most physiologists tend to investigate only a short period of phenomena, though anthropologists seem to take a long period of changes into consideration.Thus by means of physiological anthropology, the study of human will be better developed.
