This Very Short Introduction traces the history of paleoanthropology from its beginnings in the eighteenth century to today's latest fossil finds. Concentrating on the fossil evidence for human evolution, it makes reference to the relevant archaeological evidence when appropriate. The book also covers the latest genetic evidence about regional variations in the modern human genome that relate to our evolutionary history. Finally it demonstrates that our understanding of human evolution is critically dependent on advances in related sciences such as paleoclimatology, geochronology, systematics, genetics, and increasingly, developmental biology.
