Biological Anthropology: A Textbook — 2nd ed.

This textbook provides a consistent presentation of the fundamental concepts of modern biological anthropology—the science of humans as a biological species, their origins, and biological variability across time and space. Humans are also studied as a biosocial phenomenon, as the manifestations of their biological nature are largely mediated by the social environment. The textbook is organized according to the main sections of biological anthropology: human evolution, population anthropology, developmental anthropology, and constitutional anthropology.

The issues of anthropogenesis, anthropological differentiation, ontogenesis, and human constitution are examined with due consideration of the most recent data. The book contains reference and educational material.
