Introduction to Anthropology
Roger Pearson.
A
classic anthropology textbook, profusely illustrated with photographs
and charts, which covers all fields of anthropology, including human
evolution, origin of races, archaeology, cultural evolution, and
languages of the world. Originally published in 1974 by Holt, Rinehart
and Winston, New York, and formerly used in universities as a basic
textbook, this book is now available only in used but good condition.
The author follows an evolutionary approach, showing how all human behavior is shaped by genetics, culture, and environment.

The Evolutionary Process; The Fish That Crawled; Mammals Supplant
Reptiles; Into the Trees; Mammalian Social Life; In Search of the
Missing Link; An African Eden?; The Man Who Walked Erect; The Coming of
