Human Evolution
(In more than forty selections, representing all schools o...)
In more than forty selections, representing all schools of anthropology, the authors integrate the field of physical anthropology with the other biological sciences in a manner, appropriate to the needs of the advanced, as well as the freshman and sophomore student. By providing materials on classic Mendelian genetics, human population genetics, evolutionary forces and human populations, paleontology and taxonomy, human fossil records and race as evolutionary process, the authors bring the student in contact not only with a range of interest, but also with the thinking and research of major figures in the field.
