Recensione

Review of the hardback: '... Wessen's simulation of human evolution will be a useful reference for phylogenetic systematicists, human geneticists, physical anthropologists and primatologists, and paleoarchaeologists who want to think deeply about both the power and limits of reconstructing human history from currently available data and with contemporary tools.' BioScience

Review of the hardback: ' ... the results presented by Ken Wessen really force us to be sceptical about our human lineage ... this book is a good read for everybody with an overly optimistic view of our knowledge of human history ...' www.PalArch.nl

Descrizione del libro

Computer simulations of evolutionary and genetic processes can help us understand more about the earliest origins of humankind. In this book, Ken Wessen shows graduate students and researchers in human evolution, genetics and biological anthropology how to unpick the complex interactions using novel simulation software, made available on an associated website.
