Wiley Blackwell Student Dictionary of Human Evolution

The scope and volume of evidence and range of methods used to analyze the fossil record have increased exponentially in the last fifty years. Comprised of approximately 1,500 entries produced without jargon for those new to the subject, the book includes timelines, maps, and over 100 illustrations, making it an indispensable tool for those studying human evolution. Paleoanthropologists, be they students or practitioners, need to be familiar with the record, but until now there has been no resource that covers topics as disparate as ameloblast daily secretion rates and exact randomization.
