A variety of shorter and more topically restricted textbooks has appeared in response to the changing curricula of colleges and universities in recent years. In part, this reflects the diverse organization of introductory courses and in part the availability of introductory level courses that emphasize selected aspects of a subject rather than the more inclusive surveys. It should be possible for instructors to create more individually tailored courses and use two or more shorter texts covering different topics within a discipline, or to offer short courses in which one topic is emphasized and others either excluded or discussed peripherally to the major theme. This textbook is intended for introductory level courses in which human biology is the focus for discussions of general biological principles and thinking, particularly for the theme of sex as a biological phenomenon. It could also be used as a text along with others for courses that survey a set of themes in a more comprehensive study of Biology
