The Cambridge Studies in Biological and Evolutionary Anthropology is an established series, very much at the forefront of recent developments in human biology and evolution. The intention of the series is to provide a broad and integrated approach to biological anthropology. Books in the series are either edited or written by one or two authors. Each provides a concise and balanced account, ideally of around 250 pages, that synthesises the current research and thinking in its subject area, aimed at advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as researchers and teachers of biological anthropology.
