Everything you need to know but don't want to ask
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
The sixty articles in this book date from the early l960s to the early 1990s, but are not likely to become obsolete soon. Probably the most controversial paper is the one that tries to show that we are not all descended from one set of parents. Recent DNA evidence, however, is not all that clear. One article on women might raise eyebrows. It claims that men were the achievers, innovators, AND producers of society. Two papers on evolution (Chapters 56 and 57) are thought provoking. The first says that races are a byproduct of past selective pressures and are no longer distinct. The other says that as late as 1979, one-quarter of introductory physical anthropoly books still argued for the validity of the race concept! Excellent supplemental material for a college course in biology. Others will find it tedious.
