AUTHOR

Wood, Bernard A., Martin, L. B., Andrews, P. J.

SUMMARY

The fragmentary fossil record of primates and hominids has generated fundamental, and often well publicised, differences of opinion about their evolution. The objective of this book, based upon a joint symposium of the Anatomical Society and the Primate Society of Great Britain, is to present an up-to-date review of the major problem areas, aimed specifically to meet the requirements of students. For some issues, leading proponents of 'rival' schools present their viewpoint; for others, distinguished contributors have reviewed a particularly important or controversial problem, presenting a non-partisan objective analysis. By including papers that adopt contrasting opinions towards the reconstruction of evolutionary relationships and by incorporating the current interpretations of the fossil evidence, this volume provides a valuable synthesis of the new thinking about primate and human palaeontology.Wood, Bernard A. is the author of 'Major Topics in Primate and Human Evolution' with ISBN 9780521307000 and ISBN 0521307007.
