Table Of Contents

Written by a professor who has spent eleven years teaching and practicing biological anthropology and who takes care to relate its significance to everyday life, this new text focuses on central contemporary issues: genetics and genomics, "natural" behavior, evolution, and human variation. The book tells the story of biological anthropology and evolutionary theory, our bio-history, in a way that encourages students to use it in their own lives and to think critically about the issues explored.

Features:


Well written and accessible, the chapters and introductory stories are presented in a conversational tone that draws the reader into the text.

Access to in-depth coverage is available on the companion Online Learning Center through interactivities and "Virtual Explorations" Web links included in each chapter. Students can acquire knowledge beyond the core concepts by using these integrated elements.

Up-to-date sections on genetics in Chapters 2, 4, and 10 make this often most difficult topic accessible for non-science students.

Chapter 3 includes a section on anatomy and physiology, subjects missing from almost all introductory biological anthropology textbooks.

"What We Know/Questions That Remain" features show the fast-changing nature of scientific knowledge
