The volume of studies on prosimian primates has, until recently, tended to lag well behind that of studies on the higher primates. This is so despite the fact that the considerable intrinsic interest of the living prosimians and the signifi cance of their stuQ, y for our understanding of the earlier stages of primate evolution have long been acknowledged by zoologists, paleontologists, and anthropologists alike. Among the prosimians, the Malagasy lemurs are of profound interest not only because they include the only extant diurnal forms, but also because it is only on Madagascar that the...

Die Entdeckung der Neandertaler vor rund 150 Jahren hat immer wieder fur aufgeregte Diskussionen in Archaologie und Anthropologie gesorgt. Die Fragen, welchen genetischen Beitrag sie zur Entwicklung des heutigen Menschen geleistet haben oder warum die Neandertaler letztendlich ausstarben, sind bis heute ungeklart. Dieser Streit in der Wissenschaft, die unterschiedlichen Interpretationen der Fossilien gestern und heute sowie die Evolution und Kultur des Neandertalers werden erstmalig vollstandig und mit attraktivem Bildmaterial dargestellt. In einem aktuellen Anhang des Neanderthal Museums...

This extensive, three-volume handbook, intensively updated and enlarged, is a superb new resource for students, researchers, and practitioners in paleoanthropology. A baseline storehouse covering the full extent of current knowledge, the volume features an online e-reference work that will be updated with future developments in this fascinating discipline. Often cited as the most multidisciplinary of all the sciences, paleoanthropology encompasses a vast range of techniques drawn from geology, evolutionary biology, and archaeology, among many others.
Guided by an editorial...
