Overview

A Portrait of Humankind: Current Readings in Physical Anthropology contains articles that represent some of the most recent, cutting-edge research being done in physical anthropology. They include essays on the perceived conflicts between science and faith, work in forensic anthropology, primate social behavior, human origins and evolution, and aspects of modern human variability. These readings will enhance both lecture and laboratory classes in physical anthropology, and will allow students to study a variety of topics in greater detail.
