Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	The editor's introduction indicates how the study of past human populations has broadened in recent years, and B G Campbell discusses the use of nomenclature. D R Hughes emphasises the importance of studying skeletal plasticity, and the value of growth data is demonstrated by F E Johnston. N M Huber considers the problem of stature increase, finding Alemannic skeletons of fifth-eighth cents AD not significantly shorter than modern males. R J Berry considers the biology of non-metrical variation and J E Anderson makes an anthropologist's plea for more precise data on skeletal "anomalies" for use in comparing populations. Radiological aspects of normal variation are explored by the editor with T Molleson and C Metreweli. Congenital deformities, especially vertebral defects, in earlier man are considered by the editor with R Powers. A T Sandison discusses the difficulties of interpreting pathological changes due to acquired disease, while W A Marshall considers the so-called "lines of arrested growth" in bones. The ecological aspects of palaeodemography are treated by J L Angel, and I Lengyel introduces biochemical methods of determining sex, age and blood-group from even scanty remains.
