Exploring Biological Anthropology

Exploring Biological Anthropology: The Essentials, 4th Edition, introduces foundational principles and contemporary discoveries in biological anthropology. Published by Pearson, the textbook situates traditional physical anthropology within a Darwinian framework for college courses.

The text focuses on three core areas of the discipline: the human fossil record, primate behavior and ecology, and human biology and the brain. It combines foundational concepts with empirical findings to illustrate the development of anthropological science.

Designed for students and educators, the work offers digital study support through the REVEL interactive learning environment and MyAnthroLab media resources with assignments.
