This book provides a synthetic overview of all evidence concerning
the evolution of the morphology of the human pelvis, including
comparative anatomy, clinical and experimental studies, and
quantitative evolutionary models. By integrating these lines of
research, this is the first book to bring all sources of evidence
together to develop a coherent statement about the current state of
the art in understanding pelvic evolution. Second, and related to
this, the volume is the first detailed assessment of existing
paradigms about the evolution of the pelvis, especially the
obstetric dilemma. The authors argue that there are many
'dilemmas', but these must be approached using a testable
methodology, rather than on the proviso of a single paradigm. The
volume clearly contributes to greater scientific knowledge about
human variation and evolution, and has implications for clinicians
working within reproductive health. A thought-provoking read for
students, researchers and professionals in the fields of biological
anthropology, human evolutionary anthropology, paleoanthropology,
bioarchaeology, biology, developmental biology and obstetrics.
