Is warfare a uniquely human behavior? Do you know how many human
races there are? Have you ever wondered how evolution can be both a
fact and a theory? How can we know about the distant past if we
weren't there to witness it? How did we become who we are as a
species, and what does that mean for other species and the rest of
the planet? The Human Experiment: Origins and Evolution of Humanity
touches on these and other big questions, and provides students
with an introduction to what anthropologists know about the origins
of the human condition. Topics include the study of anthropology;
science, myth, religion and pseudoscience; evolution; common
misconceptions about race; why anthropologists study nonhuman
primates; and the emergence of biologically modern humans. Students
learn about culture as human adaptation, peopling of the New World,
the origins and consequences of food production, civilizations, and
global warming. Designed to help students better understand the
evolution of humankind, The Human Experiment is an ideal textbook
for introductory anthropology courses. It provides a concise and
accessible overview of the key developments in human prehistory and
examples of how the knowledge of our shared past is continually
being updated as new information is discovered.
