Synopsis

Covering not only the history of the human species as revealed by the fossil record, this book shows students how evolution produces adaptations, creates new species and shapes behaviour. It is intended for introductory courses in human evolution, anthropology or evolutionary approaches to human behaviour. Each chapter has been updated, the research findings reviewed and the associated web-site brought up to date.
