Human Evolution & Prehistory

by William A. Haviland

This book offers a comprehensive and balanced presentation on views of the human evolution and prehistory. It focuses on selected aspects of physical anthropology and prehistoric archaeology as they relate to the origin of humanity, the origin of culture, and the development of human biological and cultural diversity. Haviland's commitment to challenging student ethnocentrism is continued and reinforced in this new edition.

The textbook for my Archaeology Independent Study course. Found a lot of it to be a bit dry for my tastes, but perhaps this just means that Archaeology is not my thing & doesn't reflect on the book itself.

Some of the photos & case studies were interesting, and it definitely tied in some Canadian aspects.
