This book is derived from three OpenStax resources: Biology, Concepts of Biology, and Anatomy and Physiology. It has been extensively edited so that the chapter order and content is appropriate for a non-majors human biology course.

Welcome to Human Biology , a textbook created utilizing OpenStax resources. This textbook has been created with several goals in mind: accessibility, customization, and student engagement—all while encouraging students toward high levels of academic scholarship. Students will find that this textbook offers a strong introduction to human biology in an accessible format.

About openstax college's resources

OpenStax College resources provide quality academic instruction. Three key features set our materials apart from others: they can be customized by instructors for each class, they are a “living” resource that grows online through contributions from science educators, and they are available free or for minimal cost. The materials for this book were compiled and customized by Willy Cushwa, with valuable editorial assistance provided by Jamey Marsh. Please send any content suggestions and/or corrections to Willy Cushwa at wcushwa@clark.edu.

To broaden access and encourage community curation, our text books are “open source” licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) license.
