Cambridge University Press On Becoming Human
Book SynopsisFirst published in 1981, On Becoming Human presents a unique theory of human origins, an original explanation of how early hominids evolved from their ape-like primate ancestors. Professor Nancy M. Tanner's book integrates the data on chimpanzee behaviour with the available information on early phases of human evolution. The result is a model by which we can more accurately reconstruct the lifeways of the early hominids and better understand the rapid transition from ape to early human. By an innovative use of conventional data and a fresh perspective on traditional anthropological approaches, Professor Tanner, in her first book, has developed a powerful new theory of human origins by which we can understand the actual dynamics of becoming human.Table of ContentsList of illustrations; Preface; Acknowledgements; 1. Darwin and the descent of 'man'; 2. Models in evolution; 3. African apes and human evolution; 4. Chimpanzees as a model of the ancestral population: locomotion, tools and diet; 5. Chimpanzees as a model of the ancestral population: social organisation and interaction; 6. Chimpanzees as a model of ancestral population: mental capacities, communication and sociation - bases for the evolution of the capacity for culture; 7. The transition to Australopithecus: natural and sexual selection in human origins; 8. Evidence on the transition: what can the earliest hominid fossils reveal about the ancestral population and the transition?; 9. Gathering and the australopithecine way of life; 10. Early hominid lifeways: the critical role of an interpretive framework; 11. Conclusion: becoming human; Bibliography; Acknowledgements and bibliography for illustrations; Indexes.

Cambridge University Press Isolation Migration and Health 33 Society for the
Book SynopsisThis special symposium volume of the SSHB explores the biological effects of human isolation and migration, and how the situations to which they give rise help to elucidate a variety of biological problems, ranging from evolutionary change to disease etiology. The majority of the case studies presented here are by Asian investigators, and provide a uniquely accessible source of information. Besides documenting the results, the book illustrates the different methods employed in such studies. It will be invaluable to those contemplating similar investigations elsewhere, and will be of interest to researchers in a range of disciplines including epidemiology, clinical medicine, demography, anthropology, genetics and evolutionary biology.Trade Review"...represents a very interesting and curious aspect of the exploration of situations resulting from the biological effects of human isolation and migration. These investigations may particularly help to understand and to elucidate a variety of biological problems ranging from evolutionary change to the etiology of the diseases....A real book to meditate."
