Reconstructing Human Origins: A Modern Synthesis

by Glenn C. Conroy

The field of paleoanthropology has undergone tremendous change and growth in the last twenty years. Recent fossil finds at early hominid sites in Africa, Asia, and Europe have ignited debate as well as controversy among the major figures who have shaped the discipline. In Reconstructing Human Origins , Glenn Conroy examines all aspects of the fossil record--paleoecological, morphological, and archeological--in an effort to better understand the progression of human evolution from our primate ancestors to anatomically modern peoples.
