Synopsis:

Readings in Evolutionary Theory, Genetics, and the Origins of Modern Human Morphology provides students with a collection of readings that explore critical concepts in biological anthropology and human evolution.

The text is divided into 10 distinct sections that feature an introduction, relevant readings, and post-reading questions. Opening sections explore creationism versus evolution, the history of evolutionary thought, population genetics and microevolution, and heritability. Students read about natural selection in action, primate behavior, evolutionary systematics, and human evolution and the origins of bipedalism. The final sections examine Neanderthals, the origins of modern humans, and what it is to be human.

Concise and accessible, Readings in Evolutionary Theory, Genetics, and the Origins of Modern Human Morphology is an ideal resource for courses in anthropology and human evolution.
