I am extremely interested in Physical Anthropology so this book was a treat. It was simple enough, being an introduction book, that I could follow easily and really take it all in. Reading the book on the side of listening to the college lectures helped too, but the book would have been enough to get anyone started. There were tons of pictures and charts that helped cement the information. This is an easy book to get through if you're interested in the subject. I am keeping this on my bookshelf.

I purchased this book years ago for an introductory class and have since found it to be a living room mainstay and chief source of curious information. Beyond a great basic textbook, if you find yourself interested in the approximate chronology of the emergence of modern day man or hypothesizing what color eyes your kids are likely to have, this book is fascinating and sans usual haughty textbook syntax.

A good primer on biological anthropology, this is an easy read relative to the subject matter. Great images and helpful diagrams regarding the different eras and epochs of evolution make it particularly easy to follow. Unfortunately this edition is already out of date bc of the new understandings regarding ardipithecus ramidus which were not yet published at the time of this printing.

A large amount of chronological information about humans and their animal counterparts from a scientific perspective. Lots of descriptions, tables of information, long scientific names, examples, and theories on the puzzle of evolution.

I include this because I read the whole fucking thing this semester, and because it's pretty good as far as textbooks go. I liked the subject quite a bit and the book was engaging and refreshing.

Very useful collection of info. I use it as a reference sometimes still, although usually just to settle an argument or nagging question.
