Book Description
Exploring Physical Anthropology; 3rd Edition; (PDF) is a complete; full-color lab manual aimed for an introductory laboratory course in physical anthropology. It can also serve as a complementary workbook for a lecture class; mainly in the absence of a laboratory offering.
This laboratory manual allows a hands-on approach to learning about the evolutionary processes that resulted in humans through the use of various examples and exercises. It provides a solid grounding in the chief areas of an introductory physical anthropology lab course: genetics; evolutionary forces; forensic anthropology; human osteology; comparative/functional skeletal anatomy; paleoanthropology; primate behavior and modern human biological variation.
