Bones, Stones and Molecules Zusammenfassung

Bones, Stones and Molecules: Out of Africa and Human Origins David W. Cameron (The University of Sydney, Australia)

Bones, Stones and Molecules provides some of the best evidence for resolving the debate between the two hypotheses of human origins. The debate between the 'Out of Africa' model and the 'Multiregional' hypothesis is examined through the functional and developmental processes associated with the evolution of the human skull and face and focuses on the significance of the Australian record. The book analyzes important new discoveries that have occurred recently and examines evidence that is not available elsewhere. Cameron and Groves argue that the existing evidence supports a recent origin for modern humans from Africa. They also specifically relate these two theories to interpretations of the origins of the first Australians. The book provides an up-to-date interpretation of the fossil, archaeological and the molecular evidence, specifically as it relates to Asia, and Australia in particular.

Bones, Stones and Molecules Bewertungen

I was keenly anticipating this book, for I have the highest opinion of the work of both Cameron and Groves. I was not disappointed, for it is a thoroughly researched and entertaining book....Its strength lies in the wonderful clarity in which the principles of phylogenetic analysis are laid out and then applied rigorously to the hominid fossil record. Although many will disagree with the conclusions, they will be able to do so more readily because the analyses are so clearly set out, both the characters used and the methods. --Peter Andrews, Natural History Museum, London, England This is a detailed treatment which is sure to stimulate consideable debate and argument. --David Pilbeam, Peabody Museum, Harvard University Although fairly academic in approach, this is still a very readable and well-illustrated overview. --Douglas Palmer, NEW SCIENTIST
