For courses in Biological AnthropologyPresent a rich overview of biological anthropology, from early foundations to recent innovations Biological Anthropology: The Natural History of Humankind combines comprehensive coverage of the foundations of the field with modern innovations and discoveries, helping students understand, and get excited about, the discipline. Because the authors conduct research in three of the main areas of biological anthropology-the human fossil record (Susan Ant?n), primate behavior and ecology (Craig Stanford), and human biology and the brain (John Allen)-they offer a specialist approach that engages students and gives them everything they need to master the subject. The Fourth Edition continues to present traditional physical anthropology within a modern Darwinian framework, and includes coverage of contemporary discoveries to highlight the ever-increasing body of knowledge in biological anthropology.Also available with MyAnthroLab(R) MyAnthroLab for the Biological Anthropology course extends learning online to engage students and improve results. Media resources with assignments bring concepts to life, and offer students opportunities to practice applying what they\'ve learned.

Una historia gráfica es el brillante y provocador relato de cómo un simio insignificante consiguió imponerse en la lucha por la supervivencia y fue capaz de dominar el planeta Tierra, dividir el átomo, llegar a la Luna y manipular el código genético.En su primer libro, Sapiens. De animales a dioses, Yuval Noah Harari -considerado uno de los intelectuales más influyentes del mundo-narró de forma extraordinaria la compleja trama de la historia de la raza humana. Sapiens. El nacimiento de la humanidad constituye el primer volumen de la adaptación gráfica de un bestseller internacional que ha sido traducido a sesenta idiomas y lleva más de dieciséis millones de ejemplares vendidos en todo el mundo.Con Harari como guía, te invitamos a dar un paseo por el lado más salvaje de nuestra evolución como especie en un recorrido repleto de humor, ingenio y personajes inolvidables como Bill el Troglodita, la Doctora Ficción o la detective López. Gracias a sus maravillosas ilustraciones y la forma de Harari de aproximarse a nuestro pasado, esta novela gráfica pretende entretener a nuevos lectores y contribuir a explorar las formas en que la biología y la historia nos han definido y han mejorado nuestra comprensión de lo que significa ser «humano». 100,000 years ago, at least six human species inhabited the earth. Today there is just one. Us. Homo sapiens. How did our species succeed in the battle for dominance? Why did our foraging ancestors come together to create cities and kingdoms? How did we come to believe in gods, nations and human rights to trust money, books and laws and to be enslaved by bureaucracy, timetables and consumerism? And what will our world be like in the millennia to come? In Sapiens, Dr Yuval Noah Harari spans the whole of human history, from the very first humans to walk the earth to the radical – and sometimes devastating – breakthroughs of the Cognitive, Agricultural and Scientific Revolutions. Drawing on insights from biology, anthropology, paleontology and economics, he explores how the currents of history have shaped our human societies, the animals and plants around us, and even our personalities. Have we become happier as history has unfolded? Can we ever free our behaviour from the heritage of our ancestors? And what, if anything, can we do to influence the course of the centuries to come? Bold, wide-ranging and provocative, Sapiens challenges everything we thought we knew about being human: our thoughts, our actions, our power ... and our future. Intended for undergraduate introductory physical anthropology, biological anthropology or human origins courses, this book aims to integrate the foundations and the innovations in the field. 100,000 years ago, at least six human species inhabited the earth.

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. The Sapiens of 2020.---The Guardian From the author of the New York Times bestseller Utopia for Realists comes the riveting pick-me-up we all need right now (People), the #1 Dutch bestseller Humankind, which offers a bold (Daniel H. Pink), extraordinary (Susan Cain) argument that humans thrive in a crisis and that our innate kindness and cooperation have been the greatest factors in our long-term success on the planet. Humankind made me see humanity from a fresh perspective. ---Yuval Noah Harari, author of the #1 bestseller Sapiens  If there is one belief that has united the left and the right, psychologists and philosophers, ancient thinkers and modern ones, it is the tacit assumption that humans are bad. It\'s a notion that drives newspaper headlines and guides the laws that shape our lives. From Machiavelli to Hobbes, Freud to Pinker, the roots of this belief have sunk deep into Western thought. Human beings, we\'re taught, are by nature selfish and governed primarily by self-interest. But what if it isn\'t true? International bestseller Rutger Bregman provides new perspective on the past 200,000 years of human history, setting out to prove that we are hardwired for kindness, geared toward cooperation rather than competition, and more inclined to trust rather than distrust one another. In fact this instinct has a firm evolutionary basis going back to the beginning of Homo sapiens. From the real-life Lord of the Flies to the solidarity in the aftermath of the Blitz, the hidden flaws in the Stanford prison experiment to the true story of twin brothers on opposite sides who helped Mandela end apartheid, Bregman shows us that believing in human generosity and collaboration isn\'t merely optimistic---it\'s realistic. Moreover, it has huge implications for how society functions. When we think the worst of people, it brings out the worst in our politics and economics. But if we believe in the reality of humanity\'s kindness and altruism, it will form the foundation for achieving true change in society, a case that Bregman makes convincingly with his signature wit, refreshing frankness, and memorable storytelling. A radical retelling of humanity\'s restless, genetically mingled history based on the revolutionary science of archaeogenetics.In this eye-opening book, Johannes Krause, director of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, and journalist Thomas Trappe offer a new way of understanding our past, present, and future. Krause is a pioneer in the revolutionary new science of archaeogenetics, archaeology augmented by revolutionary DNA sequencing technology, which has allowed scientists to uncover a new version of human history reaching back more than 100,000 years. Using this technology to re-examine human bones from the distant past, Krause has been able to map not only the genetic profiles of the dead, but also their ancient journeys.In this concise narrative he tells us their long-forgotten stories of migration and intersection. It\'s well known that many human populations carry genetic material from Neanderthals but, as Krause and his colleagues discovered, we also share DNA with a newly uncovered human form, the Denisovans. We know now that a wave of farmers from Anatolia migrated into Europe 8,000 years ago, essentially displacing the dark-skinned, blue-eyed hunter-gatherers who preceded them. The farmer DNA is one of the core genetic components of contemporary Europeans and European Americans. Though the first people to cross into North and South America have long been assumed to be primarily of East Asian descent, we now know that they also share DNA with contemporary Europeans and European Americans. Genetics has an unfortunate history of smuggling in racist ideologies, but our most cutting-edge science tells us that genetic categories in no way reflect national borders.Krause vividly introduces us to prehistoric cultures such as the Aurignacians, innovative artisans who carved animals, people, and even flutes from bird bones more than 40,000 years ago the Varna, who buried their loved ones with gold long before the Pharaohs of Egypt and the Gravettians, big-game hunters who were Europe\'s most successful early settlers until they perished in the ice age. This informed retelling of the human epic confirms that immigration and genetic mingling have always defined our species and that who we are is a question of culture not genetics.
