Integrative Paths to the Past

Written to honor the trailbreaking paleoanthropologist, F. Clark Howell, and his interdisciplinary view of the search for human origins, this multidisciplinary anthology offers a state-of-the-art overview of the entire field of evolutionary studies. Integrative Paths to the Past: provides overviews of current thinking about the origins of major groups of higher primates, including humans; features provocative reviews of all aspects of the earliest hominids; contains articles that typify the contextual and interdisciplinary influence of Howell on hominid studies, specifically the geological context; offers detailed overviews of the archeological record of the early hominids - from the earliest record of stone artifacts to the Iron Age; and covers the final phase of human evolution - from the European neandertals to the Asian fossil record.
