| Opplysninger | "The International Encyclopedia of Biological Anthropology features over 450 entries contributed by an international team of scholars, and presents an extensive and invaluable survey of this fascinating field. The Encyclopedia: Represents the first comprehensive encyclopedic reference relating to biological anthropology Features more than 450 entries covering topics ranging from ongoing human evolution, paleoanthropology, and non-human primates to paleopathology, forensic anthropology, and bioarchaeology Includes interdisciplinary coverage of primatology, human biology, paleoanthropology, bioarchaeology, anthropological genetics, and the history of biological anthropology An indispensable resource for undergraduate students and scholars engaged in the study and practice of biological anthropology and interrelated fields and disciplines. This work is also available as an online resource at: www.encyclopediaofbiologicalanthropology.com"--. - "This is an encyclopedia and not a dictionary. As such, there are very few entries that are fewer than 700 words and there are no terms or concepts that could not be developed into an essay. The average entry is about 2,000 words. There are several long essays (about 10,000 words) that deserve highlighting because of their thorough cov- erage of the topics and the quality of the writing: Ken Weiss's entry on evolution; Clark Larsen's essay on bioarchaeology; Mike Little's adaptation; Matt Cartmill's essay on pri- mate origins; and the Dennis Dirkmaat, Heather Garvin, and Luis Cabo entry on forensic anthropology"--
