Essentials Of Physical Anthropology with Infotrac

The heredity and evolution chapters (Chapters 1-5) have been expanded and updated to reflect the tremendous advances of molecular biology in all phases of physical anthropology, and the hominid evolution chapters (Chapters 8-11) have been reorganized and reinterpreted to reflect current academic thought springing from recent major finds. To make the text more accessible, the Sixth Edition includes many new visuals that, together with the many charts, helpful tables, multimedia, and engaging writing style, will bring the study of physical anthropology to life for today's student.Jurmain, Robert is the author of 'Essentials Of Physical Anthropology with Infotrac ', published 2005 under ISBN 9780495030614 and ISBN 0495030619.
