Extrapolation from Animal Data

  • Chapter
Toxic Substances and Human Risk

Part of the book series: Life Science Monographs ((LSMO))

Abstract

It is the premise of this chapter that there is a biological basis upon which toxicologists may be able to extrapolate from animals to humans. Its foundation lies in evolutionary theory, with the phylogenetic continuity of animal species.
