About this title

Synopsis

This long awaited core textbook in the study of evolution takes a similar approach to the subject as does Roger Lewin's classic text, Human Evolution, but goes a step further. The many important discoveries and new evidence that have emerged since the last edition of Human Evolution make this new text a timely and necessary addition to any introductory evolution course.

• 
  
• Coverage of the three new species of early human discovered in recent years.
  
• Discussion of the new fossil and genetic evidence on the origin of modern humans.
  
• An entire chapter on the Neanderthals.
  
• A full treatment of modern evolutionary theory.
  
• Extensive coverage of recent advances in molecular and morphological systematics.
