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.

Written in a conversational style, the volume provides comprehensive coverage of regional archaeological sequences, a focused examination of food production, social complexity, and the spread of civilization. The volume addresses the study of world prehistory, the archaeological record, process of archaeological research, the dawn of humanity, the first humans and the origins of culture, the emergence of modern humans, the upper Paleolithic world, regional diversification, the evolution of food production, the rise of civilization and trends in world prehistory. For those interested in prehistoric humans and their culture. Patterns in Prehistory takes an in-depth look at humankind\'s first three million years. From the origins of early hominids several million years ago to the evolution of the first great states and civilizations, this comprehensive survey of world prehistory also confronts important philosophical issues about the study of the past. The author reflects on the archaeological methods and theories of the 1960s and 70s while reviewing the methodological revisions of the 80s and 90s, relating the archaeological data from hundreds of sites to the great questions of prehistorical change. He focuses on the four great transformations in the history of our genus: the evolution of culture itself the first appearance of us, Homo Sapiens the evolution of agriculture and the first appearances of cultural and social complexity in the form of the great civilizations of antiquity. Thoroughly revised and updated, this fourth edition incorporates the most recent archaeological discoveries and addresses the insights and limitations of the new wave of post-processual or cognitive archaeology.
