Title : Anthropological perspectives in human evolution and biological variation in Asia
Short Abstract : Anthropologists have traditionally conceptualized the spread of man over the Globe in terms of migration and it is extremely difficult to determine through empirical studies on differences in health status, health outcomes, life expectancy, and other indicators. The environmental stresses that correlated with the disease framework are highly engaged with the shaping of the human population in Asian sub-continent. The panel looks at genes and the associated physiologic abnormalities that confer susceptibility to chronic disease.
Long Abstract :

Proper doses of medicine can cure any disease and proper doses of consciousness can be effective in preventive medicine. Anthropologists have traditionally conceptualized the spread of man over the Globe in terms of migration to balance the result through fertility and mortality. Anthropological studies on population have been done mostly depending on societies that are beyond the purview of other subjects and it is extremely difficult or impossible to determine through empirical study differences in health status, health outcomes, life expectancy, and many other indicators. Health is measured through variables such as life expectancy and incidence of diseases. Studying biological anthropology basically summarizes the human evolutionary aspects and human genetic variations. The environmental stresses that correlated with the disease framework are highly engaged with the shaping of the human population structure and variations through the involvement of many factors named epidemiological studies. Considering the human history of spontaneous migration and protein expression induced by natural phenomena, mostly dependent on Gene-Gene interaction and Gene-Environment interaction. It is very important to highlight that Genomics is connected to public health science through population genetics and epidemiology, and to the everyday practice of public health through ethnic groups. This remains the endeavor of this panels, and it invites papers in these areas of interest.
