This landmark series provides the first comprehensive, site-by-site compendium of uniform descriptions and illustrations of fossils from all the major sites that document the human evolutionary past. The series is divided into three separate volumes, each focusing on a certain region: Volume 1: Europe; Volume 2: Asia; and Volume 3: Australia.

The Human Fossil Record series is the most authoritative and comprehensive documentation of the fossil evidence relevant to the study of our evolutionary past. This second volume covers the craniodental remains from Africa and Asia attributed to the genus Homo. In this monumental and groundbreaking new series, the authors use clearly defined terminology and descriptive protocols that are applied uniformly throughout. Organized alphabetically by site name with detailed morphological descriptions and original, expertly taken photographs, each entry features: * Location information* History of discovery* Previous systematic assessments of the fossils* Geological, archaeological, and faunal contexts* Dating* References to the primary literature
