Book Synopsis Biological Anthropology by : Craig Britton Stanford
Download or read book Biological Anthropology written by Craig Britton Stanford and published by Prentice Hall. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook presents a survey of physical anthropology, the branch of anthropology that studies the physical development of the human species. It plays an important part in the study of human origins and in the analysis and identification of human remains for legal purposes. It draws upon human body measurements, human genetics, and the study of human bones and includes the study of human brain evolution, and of culture as neurological adaptation to environment. The authors use the progressive term "biological anthropology" to mean "an integrative combination of information from the fossil record and the human skeleton, genetics of individuals and of populations, our primate relatives, human adaptation, and human behavior."

Supported by vibrant visuals that include abundant illustrations, photographs, and photo-enhanced maps, the text focuses on human evolution and biology to help you master basic biological principles of physical anthropology so you’ll be able to better understand human origins and our place in the biological world. Offering balanced coverage of the topic areas you’ll cover in class (heredity and evolution, primates, hominid evolution, and contemporary human evolution) this edition emphasizes the chronology of fossil finds instead of just describing the fossils and the sites where they were found. The authors also interpret each fossil within the framework of the story of human evolution. New features like Why It Matters further emphasize the fossils’ evolutionary significance, and often even propose the relevance of chapter materials to our everyday lives. The seventh edition provides thorough coverage of cutting-edge advances in molecular biology and expanded coverage of population biology and human variation. It also includes powerful learning tools, including a robust text website. Altogether, ESSENTIALS OF PHYSICAL ANTHROPOLOGY, Seventh Edition, integrates up-to-date coverage of the latest finds and relevant technologies in a format and writing style designed to help all students master the material.

Book Synopsis Physical Anthropology by : Aleš Hrdlička
Download or read book Physical Anthropology written by Aleš Hrdlička and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-12 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Physical Anthropology: Its Scope and Aims; Its History and Present Status in the United States The publication in a book form of the articles that follow and which originally appeared in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology, is to provide the student of anthropology in this country, in a handy form, with something that will assist him in laying the needed foundations for his chosen work, and in becoming acquainted with American anthropological bibliography. Organized progress in any branch of science is possible only when the field of that branch becomes well defined. But a definition to be of value must in a large measure be based on experience, and that not on individual but on the collective experience of the workers in that line. The history of a given branch of science thus becomes one of the essentials to the proper comprehension of the scope, objects and demarcations of that branch. These are the reasons for the association of the chapters on The Scope and Aims of Physical Anthropology with those on its History. The history here dealt with applies essentially to the United States and Canada. To extend it to Anthropology in all parts of the American continent and eventually all parts of the world where more or less development of the science has been realized, would be a most desirable task, but it is a task that can only be carried out through cooperation. Abroad something has already been done in this direction, particularly in France, the mother-country of physical anthropology (e.g., by Paul Topinard in his Elem. d'Anthrop. gen.); but no systematic effort extending to all civilized countries has as yet been attempted. Such an effort should be one of the first cares of the international Committee, Board, or Association of Anthropologists, towards the realization of which we are progressing. The text as now printed includes a number of corrections on matters called to the attention of the writer by correspondents. It is provided with a new detailed index to facilitate reference. And it is supplemented by the portraits of the men to whom American anthropology is most indebted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Physical Anthropology: Its Scope and Aims; Its History and Present Status in the United States An understanding of whatsoever exists, formulated and preserved in memory or in writing, is knowledge; and systematic search for knowl edge, on the basis of existing foundations of learning, is science. Being of the utmost utility, science constitutes the most important intel lectual function of mankind. A branch of science may be defined as a portion of systematized research that extends to closely related phenomena and has become the special function of a class of qualified observers. One of the most interesting and far-reaching of such branches is Anthropology. This has been frequently but somewhat vaguely defined as the science of man; perhaps a more fitting definition would be the comparative science of man, for its main characteristic, the criterium in fact, which differentiates it from many closely related branches of science, is that of comparison. More specifically Anthropology may also be defined as that portion of systematic research which deals with the differences, and causes of the differences, in structure, in function, and in all other manifestations of mankind, according to time, variety, place, and condition.
