商品簡介
Willoughby (anthropology, U. of Alberta) provides a synthesis of current knowledge about the evolution of fully modern humans in Africa during the Middle Paleolithic/Middle Stone Age. Using evidence from mitochondrial DNA, ancient fossils and archeological remains (including her own research in Tanzania), she examines questions regarding the place of human species in nature, the specific origins of homo sapiens, and the dispersal of these modern humans throughout Africa and around the globe. She also discusses various alternative models of modern human origins. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
