Provides a comprehensive, site-by-site compendium of uniform descriptions and illustrations of fossils from all the major sites that document the human evolutionary past. This landmark series is divided into three separate volumes, each focusing on a certain region: Europe; Asia; and 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; and References to the primary literature.

Between them, Jeffrey H. Schwartz and Ian Tattersall have published nearly 400 articles and 20 books on various aspects of primate, including human evolution. In addition, they have published extensively on topics in evolutionary theory: Dr. Schwartz on development and the origin of evolutionary novelty, and Dr. Tattersall on species recognition. Dr. Schwartz has also been involved in the recovery and analysis of human and animal skeletal remains on archaeological sites, and Dr. Tattersall in the study of lemur behavior and ecology. They have collaborated since 1972 on projects dealing with the evolutionary relationships of living and fossil lemurs, and have been pursuing their current study of the human fossil record since 1994, travelling the world to gain photographs and details of every specimen possible. Dr. Schwartz's latest book is Sudden Origins: Fossils, Genes, and the Emergence of Species (Wiley), while Dr. Tattersall recently published The Monkey in the Mirror: Essays on the Science of Becoming Human (Harcourt). They also recently co-authored Extinct Humans (Westview).
