The Foragers of Point Hope
Sixty years after their discovery, this is the first anthropological synthesis of the ancient Arctic foragers of Point Hope, Alaska.
Growing Up in the Ice Age
In prehistoric societies children comprised 40–65% of the population, yet by default, our ancestral landscapes are peopled by adults who hunt, gather, fish, knap tools, and make art. But these adults were also parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles who had to make space physically, emotionally, intellectually, and cognitively for the infants, children, and adolescents around them. Growing Up in the Ice Age is a timely and evidence-based look at the lived lives of Paleolithic children and the communities of which they were a part. By rendering these ‘invisible’ children visible, readers will gain a new understanding of the Paleolithic period as a whole, and in doing so will learn how children have contributed to the biological and cultural entities we are today.
The Colobines
Covering colobine biology, behaviour, ecology and conservation, this book summarises current knowledge of this fascinating group of primates.
The Missing Lemur Link
A comparative study of lemurs in the context of shared ancestral links with both humans and primates.
Reconstructing Mobility
Assembles a collection of experts to provide a current account of different approaches (e.g., traditional, comparative and experimental) being applied to study mobility. Moreover, the book aims to stimulate new theoretical perspectives that adopt a holistic view of the interaction among intrinsic (i.e. skeletal) and extrinsic (i.e. environmental) factors that influence differential expression of mobility. Since the environment undoubtedly impacts mobility of a wide variety of animals, insights into human mobility, as a concept, can be improved by extending approaches to investigating comparable environmental influences on mobility in animals in general. The book teases apart environmental effects that transcend typical categories (e.g., coastal versus inland, mountainous versus level, arboreal versus terrestrial). Such an approach, when coupled with a new emphasis on mobility as types of activities rather than activity levels, offers a fresh, insightful perspective on mobility and how it might affect the musculoskeletal system.
World Archaeoprimatology
The first compendium of archaeoprimatological studies, covering past relationships between humans and nonhuman primates across the world.
The Anthropology of Modern Human Teeth
Complete guide to genetics, evolution, and variation in human tooth crown and root morphology in modern and fossil Homo sapiens.
Demography and Evolutionary Ecology of the Hadza Hunter-Gatherers
A detailed study of the Hadza hunter-gatherers, examining ecological and demographical factors impacting upon the population.
Studies in Forensic Biohistory
Highlights the role of anthropologists in revealing the histories and contemporary social facts that are reflected in dead bodies.
