Description
With the same unparalleled art and inquiry-based pedagogy as the best-selling Our Origins, Essentials of Physical Anthropology is the ideal text for focusing students' attention on what really matters and why. Author Clark Larsen, one of the world's leading physical anthropologists, has worked hard to develop a tight narrative, covering only the most pertinent, most up-to-date information that students should know. Pedagogical features in every chapter keep students focused on the core concepts and "big questions" in physical anthropology. An extensive art program, including figures, photos, maps, and bubble captions, brings concepts to life.
