This is the hardcover first edition. This is Perspectives on Human Evolution, volume III. This series, developed by S. L. Washburn, is a publication of the Society for the Study of Human Evolution, Berkeley, California. The series was created to bring together the variety of evidence which helps us understand the process that has created mankind. It presents topical articles on human evolution concerning the fossil record, stone tools and biosocial problems such as development of language - all of these are seen from the "Berkeley Perspective" as espoused by Washburn. Many of Washburn's students and close colleagues were asked to publish in this series. This volume presents 21 chapters that are nearly all focused on the East African Plio-Pleistocene fossil record.
