Synopsis
Excerpt from Contemporary Issues in Human Evolution
As befits the nature of anthropology today, the Wattis Symposia are envisioned as being explicitly multidisciplinary. The theme of the first symposium, human origins, brought together widely recognized scholars from the fields of paleoanthropology, vertebrate paleontology, archaeology and molecular anthropology. Future symposia will do likewise for different subjects and will, to the greatest extent possible, integrate scholarship from the four fields which constitute anthropology in its broadest sense, namely, cultural anthropology, physical anthropology, archaeology and anthropo logical linguistics.
It is has been a pleasure to have been involved in the production of this first symposium volume, which, we hope, will stand as a lasting tribute to the vision, generosity and seemingly boundless enthusiasm of Phyllis Wattis.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the central evolutionary theories and research into human origins. It brings together experts in the field to provide an informed multidisciplinary study of paleoanthropology. As the study of human origins, paleoanthropology draws on genetics, artifactual analysis, and the study of fossils to trace the evolutionary history of humans. The author argues that the hybridization between different human species has had a significant impact on our evolution and the diversity we see in humans today, and highlights the role of genetics in unravelling our evolutionary history. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the origins and evolution of humans.
