"The human career" chronicles the evolution of people from the earlisest primates, who lived perhaps 80 million years ago, through the emergency of fully modern humans within the past 200 thousand years. It is intended both for students and for anyone seeking a comprehention. It particularly stresses recent advances in knowledge, including, for example, exciting new evidence that fully modern humans originated in Africa and spread from there, displacing the Neanderthals and other archaic peoples in Europe and Asia. The author, Richard Klein, presents the evidence for conflicting opinions on this and other key issues, but does not hesitate to take positions. "The human career" is also innovative in its equal attention to both the fossil record and the archeological record over the 2,5 million-year interval for which both are available, emphasizing that human form and human behavior have evolved together. Klein shows that neglecting archeology in favor of the fossil record (or vice versa) inevitably limits our understanding of major human evolutionary events such as the time lag between the appearance of anatomically modern people in Africa and their eventual spread through Eurasia. Outlining broad developments in human evolution, Klein also introduces readers to the kinds of detailed data scholars use to document such developments. He presents information on archeological sties, artifacts, fossils, and methods for establishing dates in geological time, and he includes clearly labeled drawings that illustrate skeletal anatomy, stone artifacts, and stratigraphies. Detailed information on zoological classification and nomenclature and on stone tool typology and technology is provided in two appendixes.
