About The Author

Clark Spencer Larsen

Clark Spencer Larsen

Dr. Clark Spencer Larsen is an author, American biological anthropologist, and educator. His work focuses on bioarchaeology, the study of human remains from archaeological settings. Although his interests span the entire record of human evolution, his research largely focuses on the last 10,000 years, a period of dynamic change in wellbeing, health, and lifestyle, much of which relates to overcrowding, population increase, and nutritional decline that co-occurred with the transition from hunting and gathering to agriculture, creating living conditions that humans are grappling with to the present day.

A Companion to Biological Anthropology, 2nd Edition

The discipline of biological anthropology―the study of the variation and evolution of human beings and their evolutionary relationships with past and living hominin and primate relatives―has grown enormously in recent years. Advances in DNA research, behavioral anthropology, nutrition science, and other fields are transforming our understanding of what makes us human.

A Companion to Biological Anthropology, 2nd Edition (PDF) provides a timely and comprehensive account of the discipline’s foundational concepts, historical development, current trends, and future directions. Authoritative yet accessible, this field-defining reference work brings together 37 chapters by established and younger scholars on the biological and evolutionary components of the study of human development. The authors discuss all facets of contemporary biological anthropology, including systematics and taxonomy, population and molecular genetics, human biology and functional adaptation, early primate evolution, paleopathology, bioarchaeology, forensic anthropology, paleoanthropology, and paleogenetics.

Updated and expanded throughout, this second edition explores new topics, revisits critical issues, and examines recent innovations and discoveries in biological anthropology such as race and human variation, epidemiology and catastrophic disease outbreaks, global inequalities, migration, and health, resource access and population growth, recent primate behavior research, the fossil record of primates and humans, and much more.

A Companion to Biological Anthropology, Second Edition is an indispensable guide for researchers and advanced students in biological anthropology, geosciences, ancient and modern disease, behavioral ecology, forensic anthropology, systematics and taxonomy, bone biology, biogeochemistry, nutritional anthropology, and related disciplines.
