A Human Voyage takes readers on a captivating journey of scientific discovery into the origins, evolution and biocultural variation of modern humankind. Exceptionally clear and concise, A Human Voyage draws on research from around the world, highlighting the contributions of Canadian anthropologists, and presenting the latest developments in evolutionary theory; molecular anthropology; primate origins, diversity, behavioural ecology; and human evolution over the last 7 million years. Authors Keenleyside and Lazenby explore some of the most controversial and thought provoking questions in Anthropology today including: How has the environment shaped modern human variation? Do chimpanzees have culture? How do we know when and where our earliest ancestor appeared? Can genes explain obesity, homosexuality, or intelligence? What can forensic anthropologists really discern from crime scenes?
