Description
Human Evolution: An Introduction to Man's Adaptations provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of human beings. This fourth edition synthesizes major findings from modern research and theory, presenting a complete and integrated account of human evolution. With new developments in microbiology and recent fossil records incorporated into the text, the book offers a lucid and comprehensive explanation of the subject. The book analyzes each complex aspect of human evolution, such as motor control and locomotion, mastication and digestion, and nonverbal communication, in terms of its changing function. It also stresses how these separate complexes evolve interdependently over time. The text is placed within the context of contemporary evolutionary and genetic theory, analyses of the fossil record, and contemporary primatology and comparative morphology. Suitable for undergraduate and graduate courses, as well as anthropologists, biologists, and those with an interest in human evolution, this book provides a primary text that will serve as required reading.
