Synopsis:

This long awaited core textbook in the study of evolution takes a similar approach to the subject as does Roger Lewin′s classic text, Human Evolution , but goes a step further. The many important discoveries and new evidence that have emerged since the last edition of Human Evolution make this new text a timely and necessary addition to any introductory evolution course. Coverage of the three new species of early human discovered in recent years. Discussion of the new fossil and genetic evidence on the origin of modern humans. An entire chapter on the Neanderthals. A full treatment of modern evolutionary theory. Extensive coverage of recent advances in molecular and morphological systematics.

About the Author: Roger Lewin is an Associate of the Peabody Museum at Harvard University. He is the author of half a dozen books on human origin research, three of which he co–authored with world–famous anthropologist Richard Leakey, as well as the author of the prize–winning Bones of Contention.
