In response to a growing interest across disciplines for information regarding the contribution of social behavior to a range of biological outcomes, this book connects the work of evolutionary theorists and those dealing with practical issues in human health and demographics. It is suitable for academic and medical researchers.

With growing interest in investigating the contribution of social behavior to a range of biological outcomes, Social Information Transmission and Human Biology connects the work of evolutionary theorists and those dealing with practical issues in human health and demographics. Combining evolutionary models with biomedical research, authors from various disciplines look at how human behavior influences health, and how reproductive fitness sheds light on the processes that shaped the evolution of human behavior. Both academic and medical researchers will find much useful insight in this text.
