How Humans Evolvedby Robert Boyd and Joan B. Silk provides a comprehensive college-level introduction to the study of biological anthropology. Rather than simply providing a list of facts, How Humans Evolved encourages students to think critically about the process of human evolution by engaging students in theoretical discussions and debates and by asking them to wrestle with larger questions, such as how humans acquired language, why we age and eventually die, why only women nurse babies, and why human morphology differs across geographical regions. The text is also accompanied by an outstanding ancillary package for instructors.

I thumbed through and found a dozen or so pages with yellow highlighting or marginal notes. Most of the text however, is clean, tight and very suitable for a textbook. A compelling account of the evolution of the human species. This new introductory text shows how an understanding of evolutionary theory and a knowledge of primate behavioral ecology can be combined with clues from the fosssil and archaeological records to explain why we look and act the way we do. The authors begin with a thorough discussion of evolutionary processes and then apply evolutionary priciples to the behavior and ecology of our closest living relatives - the nonhuman primates. Next, How Hiumans Evolved traces the history of the human lineage through the fascinating complexities of the fossil and archaeological records, integrating principles from evolutionary theory and the study of living primates. The authors conclude the book with a section on contemporary humans that thoughtfully illustrates how understanding evolutionary processes and human evolutionary history can produce important insights into contemporary human nature. Contents in 19 Chapters: How Evolution Works, Genetics, The Moderen Synthesis, Speciation and phylogeny, Introduction to the Primates, Primate Ecology, Primate Mating Systems, The Evolution of Social Behavior, Primate Intelligence, The Hisotry of the Human Lineage, The Earliest Hominids, The Lives of Early Hominids, The ancients, The Modeerns, The Evolution of Language, Human Genetic Diversity, Evolution and the Human Life Cycle, Evolution and human Behavior, and Human Mate Choice and Parenting The Student Version Multimedia CD-ROM Guide to the Fossil Record is included.
