Human Evolution: A Very Short Introduction
The study of human evolution is advancing rapidly. Newly discovered fossil evidence is adding ever more pieces to the puzzle of our past, whilst revolutionary technological advances in the study of ancient DNA are completely reshaping theories of early human populations and migrations. In this Very Short Introduction, Bernard Wood traces the history of palaeoanthropology from its beginnings in the nineteenth century to the very latest fossil finds. Explaining how fossils are found, analysed, and interpreted, Wood also considers the contributions of related sciences such as palaeoclimatology, geochronology, systematics, genetics, and developmental biology in building the latest understandings of our own evolution.
