This introductory textbook to anthropology incorporates related issues from genetics, evolutionary science, and the various sub-fields of anthropology in its presentation of the prehistory of humankind from earliest developments to the rise of civilizations, however the greatest emphasis is on physical anthropology. Significant emphasis is placed on the practice of physical anthropology and its contribution to our understanding of human origins. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
