- Title
The bearing of acclimatization and climatic differences on racial differences.
- Authors
Weiner, Joseph S.
- Abstract
The article links acclimatization and climatic differences on racial differences. By general knowledge, adaptation for survival is considered as the most important property of human populations. Basically, the study of adaptation is a study in ecology. The use of a combined genetic and physiological approach leads to a clear perspective on race differences which has nothing in common with the older arbitrary taxonomic approach, a conclusion to which the information on human responses to climatic stress leads us.
