Description
An Introduction to Human Evolutionary Anatomy by Leslie Aiello and Christopher Dean is a comprehensive guide to understanding human anatomy through the lens of evolutionary biology. By combining anthropology and anatomy, this book provides students and researchers with a solid foundation for analyzing fossil specimens and drawing conclusions about their characteristics. The authors use basic principles and relevant bones to reconstruct the probable musculature, stance, brain size, age, weight, and sex of a particular specimen. This approach is illustrated by reference to contemporary apes and humans, allowing readers to gain insight into the history of hominid evolution. The book's clear and concise style, accompanied by beautiful illustrations, makes it an invaluable resource for those studying human evolution. This book is an ideal companion for laboratory practical sessions and new research using fossil skeletons, providing a valuable reference for anyone seeking to understand human evolutionary anatomy.
