Physical Anthropology

In their new edition, Stein and Rowe continue to share their love of discovery with students in this balanced, objective introduction to physical anthropology. As always, the authors use the most current data to unravel the mystery of the evolution of humankind, and to examine the dynamic relationship between humans and their environment. Step by step, students are guided through the material. The text does not assume any previous knowledge; every concept is carefully explained and illustrated. The Sixth Edition incorporates a significant revision of the Primate Fossil Record and a collection of new boxes that address topics concerning gender, sex and athletics, and genes and violence.
