The Cambridge Dictionary of Human Biology and Evolution
The Cambridge Dictionary of Human Biology and Evolution
(CDHBE) is an invaluable research and study tool for
both professionals and students covering a broad
range of subjects within human biology, physical
anthropology, anatomy, auxology, primatology, physi-
ology, ics, paleontology, and zoology. Packed with
13,000 descriptions of terms, specimens, sites and
names, CDHBE also includes information on over 1000
word roots, taxonomies and reference tables for
extinct, recent and extant primates, geological and
oxygen isotope chronologies, illustrations of anatomi-
cal landmarks, bones and muscles, and an illustration
of current hominid phylogeny, making this a must-
have volume for anyone with an interest in human
biology or evolution. CDHBE is plete in
its inventory of archaeological sites and the best-
known hominid specimens excavated from them, but
also includes up-to-date information on terms such as
in silico, and those relating to the rapidly developing
field of human genomics.
