A fascinating and wide-ranging look at the controversies
surrounding the search for the origins of the human species.
Written for those new to the subject, Human Evolution: A Guide to
the Debates presents the remarkable history of our understanding of
human origins as it developed from the 1800s to the present. Most
works on this topic focus narrowly on one individual, theory, or
debate. In contrast, Human Evolution draws from a wide range of
sources to offer a fully rounded portrait of the entire field. The
chapters of the book follow a basic chronological order covering
the issues, personalities, and discoveries that are central to the
questions and controversies surrounding human evolution. The
coverage draws from a wide range of associated topics and examines
not only controversies of a religious nature but also those that
have little to do with religion, allowing readers to weigh the
information, come to their own conclusions, and even begin their
own debates.
