Offering compelling photos, engaging examples, and select studies by anthropologists in a variety of locations around the globe, Haviland, Walrath, Prins and McBride present evolution and prehistory in vivid, accessible terms, and show students how the field is relevant to understanding the complex world around them. The authors explore the fundamental concepts from a holistic perspective using three unifying themes: the varied ways humans face the challenges of existence; the connections between culture and biology in shaping the course of human evolutionary history as well contemporary beliefs and behavior; and the impact of globalization on the continued survival of our species and planet. Streamlined and richly illustrated, human evolution chapters provide the same material vital for an introductory course in human origins as in previous editions but do so with fewer pages of text.
