An assessment of human evolution that theorizes that many more species of humans than previously thought have existed during the six million year history of the hominid family.. Scientists have long envisioned the human family tree as a straight-line progression from the apelike australopithecines to the enigmatic Homo habilis to the famous ...
This textbook of human osteology focuses on both classroom and laboratory studies and field situations that physical anthropologists, archaeologists, and forensic pathologists routinely encounter. This should become the preferred text for human osteology courses.
Anthropologist Jeffrey Schwartz advances his controversial but remarkably insightful theory that our closest living relatives are orangutans, not chimpanzees or other African apes. }We've all heard that chimpanzees are our closest relatives - that, in fact, they share 98 per cent of their genes with us. But what evidence supports these often ...

A fascinating tour of evolutionary biology that calls into question our implicit social and political commitment to the current theories, offering persuasive evidence that our closest relative is not the gorilla but the orangutan. 16 page black-and-white photo insert. Illustrations.
"The Human Fossil Record" series is the most authoritative and comprehensive documentation of the fossil evidence relevant to the study of our evolutionary past. It fills the critical need for a complete resource that provides detailed morphological descriptions based on uniformly applied protocols, along with all new photographs taken exclusively ...
"The Human Fossil Record" series is the most authoritative and comprehensive documentation of the fossil evidence relevant to the study of our evolutionary past. This second volume covers the craniodental remains from Africa and Asia attributed to the genus Homo. In this monumental and groundbreaking new series, the authors use clearly defined ...
The Upper Paleolithic fossils of the Mladec caves, South Moravia, excavated at the end of the 19th century, hold a key position in the current discussion on modern human emergence within Europe and the fate of the Neanderthals. Although undoubtedly early modern humans - recently radio carbon dated to 31.000 years BP - their morphological ...
In this unique volume, a group of internationally recognized experts and researchers review the literature and present new data on the skeletal anatomy, reproductive physiology and anatomy, neuroanatomy, behaviour, evolutionary genetics, and palaeontology of orang-utans. It is the most thorough and comprehensive reference available on the the ...
This landmark series provides the first comprehensive, site--by--site compendium of uniform descriptions and illustrations of fossils from all the major sites that document the human evolutionary past. The series is divided into three separate volumes, each focusing on a certain region: Volume 1: Europe; Volume 2: Asia; and Volume 3: Australia. ...
This work provides a compendium of uniform descriptions and illustrations of fossils from all the major sites that document the human evolutionary past. It focuses on the documentation of morphology, the essential basis for all further analysis of human biological history. The fossils are presented site-by-site in alphabetical order, with each ...
