Contributions from experts around the globe fall roughly into
three broad categories: Reflections on some of the broad
theoretical questions of evolution, and especially about human
evolution; the early hominins, with special emphasis on
Australopithecus afarensis and Paranthropus; and the
Neanderthals, that contentious group of our closest extinct
relatives. Within and across these categories, nearly every
paper addresses combinations of methodological, analytical and
theoretical questions that are pertinent to the whole human
evolutionary time span. This book will appeal most to scholars
and advanced students in paleoanthropology, human paleontology
and prehistoric archaeology.
