PDF-(BOOK)-Biological Anthropology

This concise introduction to biological anthropology discusses the core areas of the discipline within a unique framework modeled on the scientific method Emphasizing themes and theories the text presents facts as supportive evidence rather than dissociated pieces of information Each chapter explores questions that get at the heart of the field and then reexamines them in the same way that scientists generate and test hypotheses Designed from its inception as a concise text Biological Anthropology covers topics in a carefully managed level of detail and offers examples of the everyday uses of biological anthropology. Recall . ANTHROPOLOGY . Definition:. The scientific study of hominids and human culture over time . Focus on:. On hominids/humans as members of a species or cultural group. On humankind as a species, throughout time; . The comparative study of human peoples and cultures, past and present . Comes from “. anthropos. ” (Greek for “man”) and “ology”- (the study of). A branch of the social sciences . Focus is on the development of human form and culture. Introductory Lecture. Anthropology 100: Survey of Anthropology. Learning Objectives. 1.

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.

Each chapter drawson and complements--but does not reconstitute (except for the sake of clarity)--the major data and ideas presented in standard texts. Marks explores such topics as how we make sense of data about our origins, where our modern ideas come from, our inability to separate natural facts from culturalfacts and values as we try to understand ourselves, and the social and political aspects of science as a culturally situated mental activity. Biological anthropologists face an array of ethical issues as they engage in fieldwork around the world. In this volume human biologists, geneticists, paleontologists, and primatologists confront their involvement with, and obligations to, their research subjects, their discipline, society, and the environment. Those working with human populations explore such issues as who speaks for a group, community consultation and group consent, the relationship between expatriate communities and the community of origin, and disclosing the identity of both individuals and communities. Those working with skeletal remains discuss issues that include access to and ownership of fossil material. Primatologists are concerned about the well-being of their subjects in laboratory and captive situations, and must address yet another set of issues regarding endangered animal populations and conservation in field situations. The first comprehensive account of the ethical issues facing biological anthropologists today, Biological Anthropology and Ethics opens the door for discussions of ethical issues in professional life. The Primate Fossil Record is a profusely illustrated, up-to-date, and comprehensive treatment of primate paleontology that captures the complete history of the discovery and interpretation of primate fossils. Each chapter emphasizes three key components of the record of primate evolution: history of discovery, taxonomy of the fossils, and evolution of the adaptive radiations they represent. The volume objectively summarizes the many intellectual debates surrounding the fossil record and provides a foundation of reference information on the last two decades of astounding discoveries and worldwide field research for physical anthropologists, paleontologists, and evolutionary biologists. This book is the first to be entirely devoted to the study of children\'s skeletons from archaeological and forensic contexts. It provides an extensive review of the osteological methods and theoretical concepts of their analysis. Non-adult skeletons provide a wealth of information on the physical and social life of the child from their growth, diet and age at death, to factors that expose them to trauma and disease at different stages of their lives. This book covers the factors that affect non-adult skeletal preservation the assessment of their age, sex and ancestry growth and development infant and child mortality including infanticide weaning ages and disease of dietary deficiency skeletal pathology personal identification and exposure to trauma from birth injuries, accidents and child abuse providing new insights for graduates and postgraduates in osteology, palaeopathology and forensic anthropology. The #1 manual for biological anthropology, Soluri/Agarwal has become even more visual and hands-on in its Second Edition. New interactive exercises that emphasize the process of science and the scientific method, along with increased and improved images in the osteology chapters, give students the most impactful lab experience. And whether used standalone or packaged with a Norton textbook, Soluri/Agarwal is the most affordable manual for students, with the most robust suite of instructor and student resources.
