With the same unparalleled art and inquiry-based pedagogy as the best-selling Our Origins, Essentials of Physical Anthropology is the ideal text for focusing students#xE2;#x80;#x99; attention on what really matters and why. Author Clark Larsen, one of the world#xE2;#x80;#x99;s leading physical anthropologists, has worked hard to develop a tight narrative, covering only the most pertinent, most up-to-date information that students should know. Pedagogical features in every chapter keep students focused on the core concepts and #xE2;#x80;#x9C;big questions#xE2;#x80;#x9D; in physical anthropology. An extensive art program, including figures, photos, maps, and bubble captions, brings concepts to life.
