Description
Primarily a reference volume. May also be appropriate for senior/graduate level courses in advanced evolution.
A part of the Advances in Human Evolution series, this book presents a set of key papers which are seminal works in the New Anthropology Movement started by Sherwood Washburn. It reaches beyond history to tell the story of the practice of the field, showing-through current research and fieldwork-how the framework has been articulated and expanded over the years.
