Biological Anthropology, 4e, present a rich overview of biological anthropology, from recent innovations to early foundations.

Biological Anthropology: The Natural History of Humankind, 4th edition, (PDF) combines comprehensive coverage of the foundations of the field with modern discoveries and innovations, helping college students understand, and get excited about, the discipline. Because the authors conduct research in 3 of the main areas of biological anthropology–the human fossil record (Susan Antón), primate behavior and ecology (Craig Stanford), and human biology and the brain (John Allen)–they offer a specialist approach that engages students and gives them everything they need to master the subject. The Fourth Edition continues to present traditional physical anthropology within a modern Darwinian framework, and includes coverage of contemporary discoveries to highlight the ever-increasing body of knowledge in biological anthropology.

From Innovation to Foundation: The best of Biological Anthropology – Biological Anthropology, 4e, is written to be as accessible as possible and to be useful to anthropology students at community colleges to research-oriented university levels. It continues to build upon the strength and success of previous editions by integrating the foundations and the most current innovations in the field from the ground up.

Over the past 4 decades, this field has rapidly evolved from the study of physical anthropology into biological anthropology. Biological anthropology is now an integrative combination of information from the fossil record and the human skeleton, genetics of individuals and of populations, human adaptation, our primate relatives, and human behavior. The Fourth edition of Biological Anthropology: The Natural History of Humankind combines the most comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of the foundations of the field with modern innovations and discoveries.
