Human Evolution - An Illustrated Introduction 5e Summary

Human Evolution - An Illustrated Introduction 5e by R Lewin

The brief length and focused coverage of Human Evolution: An Illustrated Introduction have made this best-selling textbook the ideal complement to any biology or anthropology course in which human evolution is taught. The text places human evolution in the context of humans as animals, while also showing the physical context of human evolution, including climate change and the impact of extinctions. Chapter introductions, numerous drawings and photographs, and an essential glossary all add to the accessibility of this text.The fifth edition has been thoroughly updated to include coverage of the latest discoveries and perspectives, including: * New early hominid fossils from Africa and Georgia, and their implications * New archaeological evidence from Africa on the origin of modern humans * Updated coverage of prehistoric art, including new sites * New perspectives on molecular evidence and their implications for human population history. An Instructor manual CD-ROM for this title is available. Please contact our Higher Education team at [email protected] for more information.

Human Evolution - An Illustrated Introduction 5e Reviews

This book should neither be on your coffee table nor in your waste-paper box. It should not even be on one of your book-shelves. It should be on your desk, within reach, and always immediately at hand whenever wanted. A good buy! PalArch, January 2006 This is an excellent book for reference and, for the intelligent student who wants to go into real depth, this is an effective, user-friendly and up-to-date resource. Institute of Biology, July 2006
