Inspired by Humankind Emerging, 8th Edition , this brand new Concise Edition takes a chronological approach. It features an emphasis on student learning through critical thinking and application and offers comprehensive coverage of human population genetics and human variation.
One reviewer comments, “This is probably the best [text] I have seen for introducing students to the facts and interpretations in human evolution. It does a commendable job in integrating the paleontological and archaeological evidence [and] engages students with well-written and exciting expositions on some of the most important debates in the field.”

From the Back Cover
- Updates the taxonomic scheme for the human lineage, bringing the text into agreement with current paleoanthropological usage. Australopiths are assigned to the subtribe Australopithecina, species of the genus Homo are placed in the subtribe Hominina, and the two subtribes are combined to form the tribe Hominini. Great apes and hominins now are combined in the family Hominidae.
- Provides an absolutely up-to-date survey of the hominin fossil species including descriptions of the oldest members of the tribe―Sahelanthropus, Orrorin, and Ardipithecus kadabba (Chapters 6 & 7)―as well as the recently discovered dwarfed species from Indonesia, Homo floresiensis (expanded postscript in Chapter 15).
- Expands the fossil and behavioral descriptions of Homo heidelbergensis and identifies this species as the first hominin type to show the “hunting lifestyle.” Updates speculations about societal changes that may have accompanied the beginning of the hunting way of life (Chapter 12).
- Describes the latest studies of the neural regions and connections responsible for human speech and language (Chapter 13).
- Provides in-text citations for all source materials and a full bibliography―features that allow for in-depth study. Over 30% of the references are from 2000 or later.
