This introductory college textbook provides a view of the many subfields composing biological anthropology . It also offers a critical examination of the natural selection theory that forms the basic paradigm of the discipline. The book discusses various evolutionary perspectives on human biology an 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. In its ninth edition, The Human Species continues to provide a comprehensive approach to biological anthropology, especially the relationship between biology and culture, behavior in an evolutionary context, and humans as a species within the primate order. With its lively narrative and emphasis on the most current topics and findings in the field, The Human Species explores the major questions that concern biological anthropologists about our species.
