About This Book

The book surveys the study of humankind from evolutionary and comparative perspectives, combining archaeological evidence with biological and cultural analysis. It traces human antiquity through prehistoric periods and discusses artifacts and dating methods. It examines racial classification, the effects of environment on human variation, and the development and function of language. It analyzes social organization, kinship, law, religious belief, and moral systems, and considers individual psychological and ethical dimensions within societies. Methodological issues and sources are addressed, and a bibliography directs readers to further study.
