Features:


Five New End-of-Chapter Boxes on anthropological fieldwork in northern Kenya (1), the work of an anthropologist doing public archaeology in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina (2), recent research on high altitude adaptation (3), the arrival of anatomically modern humans in Europe and their overlap with Neandertals (6), and restoring lost languages with a focus on Native American languages (10).

Updated Charts, Tables, and Statistics throughout the text represent the most recent findings in the field of anthropology, including the author's own findings from his fieldwork in Madagascar.

New Organization has moved chapters, and in some cases material within chapers, that cover related content closer together for a more coherent progression through the book.
