This new and refreshing introduction to the human species places modern humans squarely in evolutionary perspective. Over 70 scholars cover a wide range of subjects from genetics to brain function and behavior, placing an emphasis throughout on the biological diversity of modern people and the increasing convergence of the fossil and genetic evidence to human evolution that has emerged in recent years. Photos and illustrations throughout.
