Discover the Best of Biological Anthropology: From its Earliest Foundations to its Most Current Innovations
Biological Anthropology is written to appeal to a wide range of students. It continues to build upon the strength and success of its first and second editions by integrating the foundations of the field with the most current innovations happening today.
Over the past 40 years, biological anthropology has rapidly evolved from the study of physical anthropology into biological anthropology. Biological anthropology is now an integrative combination of information from the fossil record and the human skeleton, genetics of individuals and of populations, our primate relatives, human adaptation, and human behavior.
Biological Anthropology combines the most up-to-date, comprehensive coverage of the foundations of the field with modern innovations and discoveries.
Editorial Reviews
The material and issues included are terrific – I could even say of all of the texts on the market, this book is the most appropriate and includes the most interesting material and topics. It’s really innovative in this area.”

The examples make the material “real” for the students, rather than memorizing dry definitions.

Reader Reviews
This is without a doubt the best textbook I have ever used (and there have been many). It has been the first textbook that I have ever been able to just sit down and read without getting bored immediately, and it doesn’t even read like a textbook. Aside from the fact that it was incredibly informative, the layout was fantastic, making it super easy to take reading notes and break the chapters down when studying.

I really enjoyed using this book for my Biological Anthropology Undergrad course. It gives all the needed information, but in a way that is easy to understand and encourages deeper thought into the subject. Great textbook!
