The Evolutionary Biology of the Human Pelvis
Synthesizes and re-examines the evolution of the human pelvis, which sits at the interface between locomotion and childbirth.
Building Bones: Bone Formation and Development in Anthropology
In this volume, studies of bone growth and development illustrate new methods and insights that enhance the anthropological understanding of skeletal variation.
Human Behavioral Ecology
Human behavioral ecology (HBE) applies the principles of evolutionary theory and optimisation to the study of human behavioural and cultural diversity. Among other things, HBE attempts to explain variation in behaviour as adaptive solutions to the competing life-history demands of growth, development, reproduction, parental care, and mate acquisition. This book is a comprehensive introduction to the theoretical orientation and specific findings of HBE. It consolidates the insights of evolution and human behaviour into a single volume that reflects the current state and future of the field. It brings together leading scholars from across the evolutionary social sciences to provide a comprehensive and thought-provoking review of the state of the topic. Throughout, the authors explain the latest developments in theory and highlight critical debates in the literature, while also engaging readers with ethnographic insights and field-based studies that remain at the core of human behavioral ecology.
Epigenetics
“If you want to understand evolution, you need to understand the murky world of epigenetics. A hearty congratulations should be paid to Hallgrimsson and Hall, who provide reliable and steady illumination.”-Bernard Wood, Center for the Advanced Study of Hominid Paleobiology, George Washington University
The Genetics of African Populations in Health and Disease
A pioneering work that focuses on the unique diversity of African genetics, offering insights into human biology and genetic approaches.
The Colobines
Covering colobine biology, behaviour, ecology and conservation, this book summarises current knowledge of this fascinating group of primates.
The Backbone of Europe
Represents the largest recorded dataset based on human skeletal remains from archaeological sites across the continent of Europe.
Primate Research and Conservation in the Anthropocene
Combining personal stories of motivation with new research this book offers a holistic picture of primate conservation in the Anthropocene.
The Bioarchaeology of Cardiovascular Disease
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide today, but are not just a modern phenomenon. To explore the deep roots of CVDs in human history, this book, for the first time, brings together bioarchaeological evidence from different periods, as old as 5000 BC, and geographic locations from Alaska to Northern Africa. Experts in their fields showcase the powerful tool set available to bioarchaeology, which allows a more comprehensive reconstruction of the human past through evidence for disease. The tools include aDNA and histological analyses and digital imaging techniques for studying skeletal and mummified human remains. The insights gained from these studies are not only of value to historical research but also demonstrate how the science of archaeological human remains can provide the long view of the history of disease and contributes to modern biomedical research within the context of evolutionary medicine.
World Archaeoprimatology
The first compendium of archaeoprimatological studies, covering past relationships between humans and nonhuman primates across the world.
