African Paleoecology and Human Evolution
A comprehensive account of hominin fossil sites across Africa, including the environmental and ecological evidence central to our understanding of human evolution.
Dental Perspectives on Human Evolution
The objective of the volume is to bring together, in one collection, the most innovative dental anthropological research as it pertains to the study of hominid evolution. In the past few decades both the numbers of hominid dental fossils and the sophistication of the techniques used to analyze them have increased substantially. The book’s contributions focus on dental morphometrics, growth and development, diet and dental evolution.
Handbook of Paleoanthropology
This 3-volume handbook brings together contributions by the world ́s leading specialists that reflect the broad spectrum of modern palaeoanthropology, thus presenting an indispensable resource for professionals and students alike. Vol. 1 reviews principles, methods, and approaches, recounting recent advances and state-of-the-art knowledge in phylogenetic analysis, palaeoecology and evolutionary theory and philosophy. Vol. 2 examines primate origins, evolution, behaviour, and adaptive variety, emphasizing integration of fossil data with contemporary knowledge of the behaviour and ecology of living primates in natural environments. Vol. 3 deals with fossil and molecular evidence for the evolution of Homo sapiens and its fossil relatives.
The Paleoanthropology of Eastern Asia
Research in human evolution in Asia has long been thought to lag far behind similar research in Africa and Europe. However, the limited dissemination of findings is often to blame, rather than a lack of scholarship. The Paleoanthropology of Eastern Asia attempts to rectify this misconception by synthesizing research on human evolution in eastern Asia into a single authoritative and definitive text. Covering the span of time from more than two million years ago to the end of the last Ice Age 15,000 years ago, this book examines key events, such as the arrival of the earliest hominins in eastern Asia and the evolution and interaction of various hominin species, including Homo erectus, Homo sap...
"Honey, we need to talk," says your body
The language of our body - how can we understand it? How can we decode its messages? How can we get back into dialog with it - our best friend - so that we can correctly interpret, treat and heal symptoms of illness? This book aims to provide answers to these questions. The focus is less on theory and more on practice. The author can cite countless exemplary cases from her 30 years of professional experience as a body therapist. She has many insightful, interesting and amusing stories to tell. She takes us on a journey through our bodies. Exemplary body parts are highlighted in order to find out the causes of the most diverse symptoms.
Hominin Environments in the East African Pliocene
This volume presents the work of researchers at many sites spanning the East African Pliocene. The authors take a broad approach that seeks to compare paleoenvironmental and paleoecological patterns across localities and among various taxonomic groups. This volume aims to synthesize large amounts of faunal data, and to present the evolution of East African vertebrates in the context of environmental and climatic changes during the Pliocene.
Walking Upright
Der Band enthält die wichtigsten Resultate der 13. Internationalen Senckenberg Konferenz, die im Oktober 1999 bei der Werner Reimers Stiftung in Bad Homburg v.d.H. sowie im Forschungsinstitut Senckenberg in Frankfurt a.M. stattfand. Behandelt werden darin die Biomechanik des aufrechten Ganges ebenso wie Konstruktions- und Funktionsanalysen rezenter und fossiler Primaten, welche in diesem Zusammenhang von Bedeutung sind. Schwergewicht liegt dabei auf der Rolle, welche die Vorderextremitäten beim aufrechten Gang und seiner Evolution spielten. Dies ist ein oft vernachlässigter Aspekt, insbesondere in Zusammenhang mit der Frage, war es Pronogradie oder Orthogradie oder was sonst, von de...
