| Book Description | Basics in Human Evolution offers a broad view of evolutionary biology and medicine. The book is written for a non-expert audience, providing accessible and convenient content that will appeal to numerous readers across the interdisciplinary field. From evolutionary theory, to cultural evolution, this book fills gaps in the readers' knowledge from various backgrounds and introduces them to thought leaders in human evolution research. |
| Editorial Review | This is a laudably ambitious project...various chapters can form an excellent introduction to different graduate courses in bioanthropology and the volume would fit on the shelf of any anthropology or general university library. --The Quarterly Review of Biology |
