systems that allow individuals to maintain homeostasis across a wide range of environments and stressors during developmental and reproductive years. Data indicated that human variation increased with age and that patterns of aging and adult survival were highly individualistic and population-envir onment specific. Today, biological anthropologists still focus on the description of cross-cul tural and populational variation, but they also examine the causes and conse quences of changes across the lifespan in adaptive physiological systems. Such changes include the physiological correlates of human aging, notably the decline of function and response, and the loss of reserve capacity to return to homeostasis after a perturbation. Today's efforts also include attempts to
