Description

Designed for use in anthropology, paleontology, and evolutionary biology, this reference brings together the major ideas and publications on human evolution of the past three decades. Filled with the original articles which have shaped current views of this field, the book spans the entire scope of human evolution with particular emphasis on the fossil record including archaeological studies.
