The edited and updated synthesis of a conference (on title) held at Cambridge U. in 1987, the volume covers the evolutionary origins and geographical dispersal of biologically modern human populations (i.e. Homo sapiens sapiens ), presenting the biological, anatomical, and genetic evidence for human origins, and the archaeological evidence for the development of modern behavioral patterns.
