Human Biology and Public Health

About the Journal

Human Biology and Public Health is the new official journal of the Auxological Society in cooperation with the German Society for Public Health and Population Medicine . The purpose of the journal is to bridge the gap between an individual medical/clinical perspective of public health and the population-based perspectives of human biology.

We consider human biology as the study of the genetic, environmental, and cultural determinants of biological variability in living people, and public health as the science of health protection, health promotion, and health communication.

The focus is on how the human species evolved, how individual humans change over the lifespan (growth, maturation and development), how humans adapt to environment and external stressors, and how human biology and culture interact to shape the wide range of normal variation in the biology and behavior of the human species. Both Human Biology and Public Health research contribute to risks for disease, with a cross-cultural, historical, and evolutionary perspective.
