About this title

Synopsis

Assuming that the earliest human ancestors grew more like apes than current-day humans, when, how and why did our modern growth pattern evolve? Covering growth patterns within available Plio-Pleistocene Hominids, including juvenile fossil specimens, and individuals assigned to the newest species, Homo antecessor, this book provides a rich data source for anthropologists and evolutionary biologists exploring these questions.

Book Description

It is generally accepted that the earliest human ancestors grew more like apes than current-day humans. When, how and why, therefore did our modern pattern evolve? Covering growth patterns within available Plio-Pleistocene hominids, including juvenile fossil specimens, and individuals assigned to the newest species, Homo antecessor, this book provides a rich data source for all anthropologists and evolutionary biologists exploring such questions.
