This book provides a complete, unbiased, relatively  non-technical overview and state-of-the-art discussion of the  rapidly changing field of paleoanthropology. It features an abundance  of illustrations and photographs from the authors' visits to fossil  sites, and views skeletal remains in light of what they can reveal  about the populations they represent -- not only their anatomy but  also their behavior and social organization.   Features rather extensive discussions on the use of genetic data --  particularly that of mtDNA. Covers: Fossils, Fossilization, and Dating  Methods; Determining Evolutionary Relationships; Our Place in the  Animal Kingdom; Reconstructing Human Behavioral Patterns and Social  Organizations: Use of the Comparative Approach; Early Primate  Evolution; The Transition to Apes; Trends in Human Evolution; The  Earliest Hominids; The Hominid Divergence; Homo Erectus; Early  Homo Sapiens; Neandertals and Their Immediate Predecessors; and  The Appearance of Homo sapiens sapiens.  For anyone  interested in a state-of-the-art discussion of paleoanthropology.
