A comparative study of lemurs in the context of shared ancestral links with both humans and primates.
Represents the largest recorded dataset based on human skeletal remains from archaeological sites across the continent of Europe.
The Aesop's Fable Paradigm is a collection of essays that explore the cutting-edge intersection of Folklore and Science. From moralizing fables to fantastic folktales, humans have been telling stories about animals—animals who can talk, feel, think, and make moral judgments just as we do—for a very long time. In contrast, scientific studies of the mental lives of animals have professed to be investigating the nature of animal minds slowly, cautiously, objectively, with no room for fanciful tales, fables, or myths. But recently, these folkloric and scientific traditions have merged in an unexpected and shocking way: scientists have attempted to prove that at least some animal fables are a...
Synthesizes and re-examines the evolution of the human pelvis, which sits at the interface between locomotion and childbirth.
Computer-Aided Design of User Interfaces VI gathers the latest experience of experts, research teams and leading organisations involved in computer-aided design of user interactive applications. This area investigates how it is desirable and possible to support, to facilitate and to speed up the development life cycle of any interactive system: requirements engineering, early-stage design, detailed design, deelopment, deployment, evaluation, and maintenance. In particular, it stresses how the design activity could be better understood for different types of advanced interactive ubiquitous computing, and multi-device environments.
An exploration of preindustrial agriculture that applies insights from biodemography, physiological ecology, and household demography.
In this volume, studies of bone growth and development illustrate new methods and insights that enhance the anthropological understanding of skeletal variation.
Complete guide to genetics, evolution, and variation in human tooth crown and root morphology in modern and fossil Homo sapiens.
