Introduction to Physical Anthropology (with InfoTrac)

Summary: Excellent introduction to a diverse and demanding field
Review: I found this book to be an excellent introduction to physical anthropology; as an archaeology major focusing on human osteology and paleopathology, I thought this text prepared a beginning student of physical anthropology very well. The biological and behavioral principles were outlined and presented clearly, real world examples helped to create an image in the mind of the reader, and the authors gave a sense of real purpose and meaning to the work of physical anthropologists and others working in the field of anthropology and archaeology.
