500			_aProvides a current and accessible overview of this diverse and rapidly expanding field. Working from a biocultural approach, medical anthropology examines the major health issues that affect most human societies, describing and synthesizing the ways in which biology, culture, health, and environment interact. It integrates up-to-date and relevant biological data with analyses of both evolutionary theory and the sociocultural conditions that often lead to major challenges to our health and survival.
