Publisher's Synopsis
Kappelman's PHYSICAL ANTHROPOLOGY LAB MANUAL offers a focused sampling of laboratory exercises that range across the breadth of the discipline, from examples of heredity and evolution to primate behavior, the fossil record of apes and early humans, and questions about human biology that are linked to environmental change. Exercises are designed with a succinct focus on particular problems, and the labs follow a fixed format with the introduction of a problem followed by the collection of data that are in turn used to test and evaluate the hypothesis. Students who complete the labs will greatly expand their knowledge of physical anthropology.
