Explore the evolution of human biology in Cambridge University Press's The Changing Body. This book examines how humans have grown taller and heavier while experiencing longer, healthier lives since 1700. It provides an accessible introduction to the field of anthropometric history, connecting physical changes in the human body to broader economic and demographic shifts. Readers will learn how historians, economists, and biologists link body size and capability to social changes in Europe and the United States.

This groundbreaking work is an essential resource for understanding the relationship between human development and the Western world.
