"The Evolutionary Biology of Human Origins explores aspects of human evolution that are not usually discussed in textbooks or biology classes. We know much about our history from bones and DNA, but these studies do not really tell us about the appearance of our ancestors and the origin of characteristics that are not preserved in the fossil record - the fleshy parts and behaviors of our ancestors. We can gain insights into our evolutionary history by understanding the pressures of natural selection that our ancestors experienced by viewing our species as an evolutionary biologist would. To come to an understanding of the origin of human traits, I draw upon evidence from fossils, genomics, phylogenetics, coalescence theory, and the anatomy and physiology of our ancestors and other animals. I interpret these observations in the contexts of comparative biology, natural and sexual selection, evolutionary constraints, inbreeding and inclusive fitness, and genetic and cultural evolution. The story of our past that we piece together provides a novel view of how savanna habitats favored a unique set of adaptations including bipedalism and the loss of fur in our early australopithecine ancestors. Other characteristics were outcomes of our infants becoming increasingly underdeveloped at birth as head size increased and were favored by inbreeding and inclusive fitness in the inbred clans of our Homo ancestors. The results of this exercise provide a novel and comprehensive view of the origin of our unique appearance and behaviors"-- Provided by publisher.
