Human Paleobiology provides a unifying framework for the study of
human populations, both past and present, to a range of changing
environments. It integrates evidence from studies of human
adaptability, comparative primatology, and molecular genetics to
document consistent measures of genetic distance between
subspecies, species and other taxonomic groupings. These findings
support the interpretation of the biology of humans in terms of a
smaller number of populations characterised by higher levels of
genetic continuity than previously hypothesised. Using this as a
basis, Robert Eckhardt then goes on to analyse problems in human
paleobiology including phenotypic differentiation, patterns of
species range expansion and phyletic succession in terms of the
patterns and processes still observable in extant populations. This
book will be a challenging and stimulating read for students and
researchers interested in human paleobiology or evolutionary
anthropology.
