Reviews

This book presents new and expanded data sets on fossil humans, especially australopithecines and Neanderthals. ... The illustrations are beautiful, providing fine anatomical and archaeological detail. Anatomical coverage is extensive, ranging from the dentition, cranium, mandible, and hyoid to the limbs, pel-vis, and spine. Archaeological discussion focuses on Israel. All of the authors show a genuine fondness and admiration for Yoel Rak. (Susan Cachel, PaleoAnthropology, 2017)
