Synopsis:
For courses in human evolution, physical anthropology, biological anthropology, and world prehistory where physical anthropology is emphasized.
Exploring topics related directly to those covered in most introductory physical anthropology courses, the articles in this reader are written expressly for undergraduates―and not collected from other published sources. The carefully selected works help students understand the methods, practices, and experiences of some of the top physical anthropologists working in the discipline today. Each article reflects the contributors' experiences, insights, and opinions in a lively, semi-autobiographical manner that will intrigue and excite students.

Introduces basic concepts of biological evolution and evolutionary theory. Explores our australopithecine and early human ancestors, and considers how and why humans evolved. Considers both the nature and causes of physical variation among contemporary peoples. For anyone interested in learning more about physical anthropology, its methods, and discoveries.
