Although concentrating on the fossil evidence for human evolution, it also covers the latest genetic evidence about regional variations in the modern human genome that relate to our evolutionary history. Bernard Wood draws on over thirty years of experience to provide an insider's view of the field and some of the personalities in it, and demonstrates that our understanding of human evolution is critically dependent on advances in related sciences such as paleoclimatology, geochronology, systematics, genetics, and developmental biology. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE SERIES\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cem\u003eThe Very Short Introductions\u003c\/em\u003e series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.
