Abstract: For all sufficiently large odd integers $n$, the following version of Higman's embedding theorem is proved in the variety ${calB}_n$ of all groups satisfying the identity $x^n=1$. A finitely generated group $G$ from ${calB}_n$ has a presentation $G=langleAmidRangle$ with a finite set of generators $A$ and a recursively enumerable set $R$ of defining relations if and only if it is a subgroup of a group $H$ finitely presented in the variety ${calB}_n$. It follows that there is a 'universal' $2$-generated finitely presented in ${calB}_n$ group containing isomorphic copies of all finitely presented in ${calB}_n$ groups as subgroups.
