What the reviewers are saying... "I consider Rice and Moloney to be an excellent basic handbook for undergraduate anthropology students focusing on either biological/physical anthropology and/or archaeology ... I know of no other text that contains this basic 'canon' of knowledge within the covers of one book." "Teryl E. Schessler, California State University- Fullerton" "The general approach is highly descriptive and even-handed with respect to controversial issues. As such it is easily readable, would be comfortable to teach, and is well- illustrated." "Joan Brenner Coltrain, University of Utah""""Every chapter in this book is extremely well done and it is very much up to date." "Joanna Casey, University of South Carolina"" " "A solid introduction to human biological and cultural evolution." "James A. Delle, Kutztown University"" " ________________________________________________________________________ ** Anthropology Experience ad here **
