title: [Mother and child--interrelations seen by the anthropologist. Their importance in social work and public health (author's transl)].
abstract: Working groups in Prague are interested in two problems: First: Anthropology of motherhood; analysing somatic modification of the female body during and after pregnancy and the newborn as modified by biological and social circumstances influencing his mother. Some features of motherhood may have their roots in early phylogenetic events--this is a topic of "anthropology of motherhood" too. Secondly: Survey of growth and development of children and youth in the CSSR from ten to ten years (1951; 1961; 1971 and 1981, now prepared): Special problems within this anthropological task are: correlation of height of the children to parents height, correlation to education and profession of parents (especially of the mother). Author deals with some results of those special investigations.
