Robert Boyd and Joan B. Silk bring their respective specialties to the groundbreaking Fourth Edition of How Humans Evolved . Using the broad perspective of behavioral ecology―how human behavior has been influenced by the evolutionary process―the authors offer a balanced discussion, drawing on updated coverage of the human fossil record. The well-structured pedagogical framework of the text, with its emphasis on overarching ideas, makes the material accessible to introductory students.

انا شخصيا احب هذا الكتاب جدا لانه يشمل المواضيع الثلاثه - فهو يبدا بالتعريفات الاساسيه عن التطور و علاقته بالجينات و علم الوراثه - ثم ينتقل الي نظره عامه علي محموعه الرئيسيات (Primates) التي ينتمي اليها الانسان من حيث الخواص التشريحيه و التكاثر و كيفيه تطوير الذكاء. الكتاب وصل للطبعه السابعه و لكن علي النت اعتقد لن تجد الا الخامسه
