8" X 11" 652 Pages Indexed plus a 24 Page Appendix, and a 16 Page Index. Moderate cover wear. I thumbed through and found a dozen or so pages with yellow highlighting or marginal notes. Most of the text however, is clean, tight and very suitable for a textbook. A compelling account of the evolution of the human species. This new introductory text shows how an understanding of evolutionary theory and a knowledge of primate behavioral ecology can be combined with clues from the fosssil and archaeological records to explain why we look and act the way we do. The authors begin with a thorough discussion of evolutionary processes and then apply evolutionary priciples to the behavior and ecology of our closest living relatives-the nonhuman primates. Next, How Hiumans Evolved traces the history of the human lineage through the fascinating complexities of the fossil and archaeological records, integrating principles from evolutionary theory and the study of living primates. The authors conclude the book with a section on contemporary humans that thoughtfully illustrates how understanding evolutionary processes and human evolutionary history can produce important insights into contemporary human nature.
