About this title

Synopsis

Inspired by Humankind Emerging, 8th Edition , this brand new Concise Edition takes a chronological approach. It features an emphasis on student learning through critical thinking and application and offers comprehensive coverage of human population genetics and human variation.   One reviewer comments, “This is probably the best [text] I have seen for introducing students to the facts and interpretations in human evolution. It does a commendable job in integrating the paleontological and archaeological evidence [and] engages students with well-written and exciting expositions on some of the most important debates in the field.”

From the Back Cover

An impressive revision that updates the content, improves the graphics, adds significant new material, and addresses contemporary concerns and the relationship of the book's subject matter to ongoing issues in everyday life.

Of all editions of the book, the eighth is clearly a superior, comprehensive introduction to physical anthropology. It retains, and incrementally improves, the best features of earlier versions. A whole new set of theoretical perspectives and timelines illuminate the latest fossil finds. The links to the WWW sites are a terrific pedagogical addition to help students keep current, in real time, as new finds are uncovered or restudies are reported.

For anyone interested in anthropology and human evolution.
