9780138402990: The stages of human evolution

Synopsis

Of all the subjects that have provoked the play of human curiosity, few equal our concern with our own prehistoric origins. At the same, time, few subjects have been the target for so much unprofessional speculation. Although the present work does not reduce the quantity of speculations (quite the reverse), it is my hope that they can, technically at least, bear the label of professional speculations.

From the Publisher

Clearly written--and now extensively cross-referenced to the primary literature--this text integrates evolutionary theory with the interpretation of fossil evidence to illustrate how ideas on the nature of human evolution have grown as new evidence for human ancestry has been brought to light.
