Humankind Emerging

By Kathryn Cruz-Uribe and Bernard Grant Campbell

Book Overview

An impressive revision that updates the content, improves the graphics, adds significant new material, and addresses contemporary concerns and the relationship of the book's subject matter to ongoing issues in everyday life. Of all editions of the book, the eighth is clearly a superior, comprehensive introduction to physical anthropology. It retains, and incrementally improves, the best features of earlier versions. A whole new set of theoretical perspectives and timelines illuminate the latest fossil finds. The links to the WWW sites are a terrific pedagogical addition to help students keep current, in real time, as new finds are uncovered or restudies are reported. For anyone interested in anthropology and human evolution.

OK text

Complicated Terms but if you like Physical Anthro, you'd love the book. Not for use for High School IB classes as it's a bit deep, however definitely a good text for college. Overall The text is clear and precise in a biased way, but again, which text isn't biased?

A very straight forward and informative text.

This text covers the basis of human evolution. It is written and presented well. This is a very controversial topic, but after reading the text the reader finds that there is an abundant amount of evidence for evolution. It puts any controversy to rest
