Cengage Advantage Books: Understanding Humans: An Introduction To Physical Anthropology And Archaeology

UNDERSTANDING HUMANS: INTRODUCTION TO PHYSICAL ANTHROPOLOGY AND ARCHAEOLOGY shows students how anthropologists and archaeologists go about their work as they study human evolution, living nonhuman primates, human adaptation and variation, the origin and dispersal of modern humans, food production, the first civilizations of the Old and New Worlds, and so much more. Using a biocultural approach, the text balances the presentation of physical anthropology with archaeology and concludes with a new chapter that ties together the material on human biological and cultural adaptation by focusing on lessons learned from our species evolution such as the impact of humans on the environment. Students will also benefit from the new chapter opening learning objectives, "At a Glance" sections that summarize key concepts, and end-of-chapter "Critical Thinking Questions" that help students better understand the material and study more effectively for exams.

Exactly what I need. They're currently on the 11th edition, but the 9th and 10th are nearly identical. Our professor recommended buying the older edition, just because it's basically the same thing! And it was only $7 as opposed to $200!

It's very helpful in my anthropology/archaeology course, It has a lot of information that uses scenarios to help teach you.

Just what I needed for school. I used it and did well in the class so i guess it did the job.

I bought this edition instead of the newer one and it works perfectly fine for my Anthro 100 class. Arrived quickly and in perfect condition.

Taking anthro so this book and the low price were a life saver. The information is very helpful and it gets me more excited about the class

I only got the book for a class and it was a great book to have for the class it was good to read and take notes in

Got it a day earlier than expected, great quality.

Exactly what my son needed for class
