How Humans Evolved
By Robert Boyd & Joan B. Silk
The gold-standard introduction to biological anthropology.
How Humans Evolved has long been the leading text for helping students understand the science of human evolution. With comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of human genetics, recent fossil discoveries, race, and modern human behavior, it is clear why the Tenth Edition remains, in primatologist Sarah Hardy’s words, “the text of choice for teaching physical anthropology and human evolutionary biology.” New 3D models of select human and non-human primate crania and anatomy, as well as fossil crania of key hominins, invite students to explore specimens in a tactile way.
