Summary:

Advances in Human Evolution Series is committed to the timely publication of texts, monographs, and major edited works on all aspects of human evolution. The series' dedication to an interdisciplinary approach emphasizes new avenues of research in human evolution through biomolecular and DNA studies, developmental and evolutionary anatomy, paleoecological and paleobehavioral studies, ethnoarchaeological studies, as well as current debates on evolution from a biocultural perspective. Colleagues are invited to share these books with their undergraduate and graduate students as course texts or as supplemental readings. In addition to being of high scientific quality, books in this series advance our understanding of what it means to be human.
