About the author

Charles Loring Brace IV (1930-2019) was an American anthropologist, Professor Emeritus at the University of Michigan's Department of Anthropology and Curator Emeritus at the University's Museum of Anthropological Archaeology. He considered the attempt "to introduce a Darwinian outlook into biological anthropology" to be his greatest contribution to the field of anthropology.

Reviews

[John Arden]

Very good, easy to understand book on the topic of human evolution. Admittedly, I have an edition from the sixties, so I don't know how the current editions stack up.

[Riversue]

Good - easy to read but the author tends to lean to ad hominem arguments so it is hard to assess whether there is merit in his statements.

[Ian Pitchford]

C. Loring Brace had an almost superhuman grasp of the scientific literature in the relevant fields and was able to explain foundational principles with incredible insight. He will be missed.

Really cool
