Summary:

This monograph, edited by Benjamin Irvine and Yılmaz Selim Erdal, explores the biological anthropology of Anatolia, focusing on past, current, and future research. It examines various aspects of ancient Anatolian populations, including sex and stature estimation, biological distance relations, intentional headshaping, and genomic history. The book also discusses the impact of agriculture on the human body and diachronic changes in dietary habits in the region. Through a comprehensive analysis of skeletal remains and isotopic data, it provides insights into the evolution of human populations in Anatolia from the Neolithic to Byzantine periods. Aimed at scholars and researchers in anthropology and archaeology, the book seeks to deepen understanding of cultural and biological developments in this historically significant region.
