Contents:
A-Z -- Appendix 1: A taxonomy of extinct primates -- Appendix 2: A taxonomy of recent and extant primates -- Appendix 3: Table of extant primate species -- Appendix 4: A geological time scale -- Appendix 5: Terrestrial chronology of the Pleistocene "ice age" in the Northern Hemisphere -- Appendix 6: The Marine Oxygen Isotope Chronology -- Appendix 7: Anatomical landmarks, postcranial bones, and major muscle groups -- Appendix 8: Event timeline of human biology and evolution -- Appendix 9: Tentative hominid phylogeny -- Appendix 10: The Greek alphabet.
Abstract: The Cambridge Dictionary of Human Biology and Evolution (CDHBE) is an invaluable research and study tool for both professionals and students covering a broad range of subjects within human biology, physical anthropology, anatomy, auxology, primatology, physiology, genetics, paleontology, and zoology. Packed with descriptions of terms, specimens, sites and names, CDHBE also includes information on over 1000 word roots, taxonomies and reference tables for extinct, recent and extant primates, geological and oxygen isotope chronologies, illustrations of anatomical landmarks, bones and muscles, and an illustration of current hominid phylogeny, making this a must-have volume for anyone with an interest in human biology or evolution. CDHBE is especially complete in its inventory of archaeological sites and the best-known hominid specimens excavated from them, but also includes up-to-date information on terms such as in silico, and those relating to the rapidly developing field of human genomics.
