Excellent Resource
I was attracted to the clear photographs and the concise information in this book. This is an excellent reference with a collection of the major finds in Europe. As a student I would read about a find in an article. With this book I was able to quickly look the fossils up. This book allows the reader to either become familiar with certain remains or gain specific information about bone ...

Orang-utans are a particularly important and interesting primate group because of their close evolutionary proximity to humans.

In this unique volume, a group of internationally recognized experts and researchers review the literature and present new data on the skeletal anatomy, reproductive physiology ...

Hox genes, and the new origin of the species
This is a very important source of information both as to the history of the Neo-Darwinian Synthesis and the recent discoveries of regulatory hox genes and the light they throw on the riddles of speciation and large scale evolutionary change. The realization that major morphological changes do not in fact occur in the fashion of microevolution (as presented by traditional Darwinists), due to the ...

Slow and tedious
This book was used for an oseteology class that I was in. Most of the time reading it was slow to the point that following it was extremely difficult. As an aid you might want to have a professional forensic anhropologist, a medical dictionary and another osteology book to translate what you're reading line by line. There's alot of information packed in it, but desiphering it is difficult.

Great fun - and what if he's right?
This is a tremendously thrilling, rewarding book to read. This book will make you think. We are told that chimpanzees are our closest relatives. We are not usually shown how the software that 'keeps confirming' this conclusion sometimes generates alternative trees that split the great apes in three: the chimps, the gorillas, and then a particularly bright and flexible clade that split into ...
