I was FASCINATED, and I am not even in Anthropology
This book, despite the other student's words, was fantastic! I read it night after night FOR FUN! It was so interesting, with good pictures too, that I just picked it up off the shelf even though it had nothing to do with my major. I even gave it to my family to read too, especially since they are fundamentalist Christians who have difficulty even conceiving of the idea of human change and ...

The essential primer
Utterly dependable general physical anthropology text with attractive pictures,layout, self assessment questions and suggested websites. The top student will wish to read more widely but it would be hard to fail a undergraduate Physical Anthropology course if this book is thoroughly digested.

Very Helpful Study Guide
I found this study guide to be very helpful. It clearly and concisely outlines most of the important information in each chapter, helping you remember what you should be focusing on instead of getting bogged down in all of the details. It also recommended some good internet sites that helped me write papers for my class. My only issue with this study guide was that the multiple choice parts of ...
