Description:

How Humans Evolved uses the broad perspective of behavioral ecology, drawing on Robert Boyd's expertise in evolutionary theory and Joan Silk's specialty in primate behavior in a uniquely integrative text. For the Third Edition, the authors have revisited many chapters in depth, added new supplemental readings, and incorporated the latest archaeological findings, including coverage of the fossil cranium Sahelanthropus tchadensis, whose dating was announced in the summer of 2002. The Toumaï Fossil and Other Recent Discoveries The Third Edition has been thoroughly revised in light of important recent advances in the discipline. A new section (in Chapter Eleven) on the discovery of the Toumaï fossil, announced in the summer of 2002, appears to push back the appearance of the first hominids to over six million years. Other new additions include revised coverage of primate sociality (Chapter Six), a new presentation of primate male reproductive tactics (Chapter Seven), and a large revision to the taxonomic understanding and cataloging of the human fossil record.
