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.
About the Author: Roger Lewin is an Associate of the Peabody Museum at Harvard University. He is the author of half a dozen books on human origin research, three of which he co-authored with world-famous anthropologist Richard Leakey, as well as the author of the prize-winning Bones of Contention.
