Biological Anthropology by J. Robert King
An accessible introduction to the study of humans as biological organisms, presenting the principles of evolution and genetics, the behavior and biology of nonhuman primates, and the fossil evidence for human origins. The text connects laboratory and field methods—such as comparative anatomy, molecular techniques, and paleoanthropological excavation—to questions about adaptation, growth and development, and human variation. Case studies and recent research examples illustrate how biological anthropology explains both deep-time evolutionary patterns and contemporary diversity in health, morphology, and behavior. Designed for students, it emphasizes critical thinking about how biology and environment interact to shape human populations.
