  The third edition of this text presents human evolution in the context of the behavioural ecology of a large-bodied, large-brained mammal. The author shows how developments in the study of life history theory and ecological influences on social structure can be applied to species long extinct; thus bringing this text completely up to date. Whilst retaining the basic structure of earlier editions; the book integrates anatomy and behaviour as never before, updates the latest evidence on mitochondrial Eve , and has a greatly expanded glossary.

  Roger Lewin has rewritten his introduction to human evolution. This new second edition presents an up-to-the-minute survey of palaeoanthropology - the study of human origins. The subject has undergone a transformation in recent years as palaeoanthropology now embraces new approaches to answering the crucial questions of evolution. In this book, Lewin synthesizes these approaches, touching on the fields of primatology, palaeontology, palaeoecology, geology, molecular biology and archaeology. Aided by clear, informative illustrations this book offers the student of human origins a broad summary of the state of this science.
