Joan Silk, Kevin Langergraber and I have coauthored a textbook entitled How Humans Evolvedwhich is designed for use in introductory classes in human evolution and biological anthropology. This text differs from others in several ways:

 

  • A more thorough treatment of evolutionary theory, including discussions of the evolution of quantitative characters, kin selection, sexual selection, life history evolution, and parent offspring conflict.

  • A modern behavioral-ecological discussion of primate behavior.

  • An extensive treatment of evolutionary psychology and human behavioral ecology.

 

The 10th edition is now available with a new coauthor, Kevin Langergraber. We have updated, and improved much of the material on genetics. The new material includes:

 

  • Revised section species and speciation

  • Updated coverage of ecology and social organization of Oldowan toolmakers

  • Updated and expanded coverage ancient DNA evidence about the spread of H. sapiens
