Rob Boyd and I have coauthored a textbook entitled How Humans Evolved which is designed for use in introductory classes in human evolution and biological anthropology. This text differs from others in several ways:

• A more thorough treatment of evolutionary theory, including discussions of the evolution of quantitative characters, kin selection, sexual selection, life history evolution, and parent offspring conflict.
• A modern behavioral-ecological discussion of primate behavior.
• An extensive treatment of evolutionary psychology and human behavioral ecology.

The fifth edition of How Humans Evolved (2009) is now available. The book is also available as an e-book, and instructors can create custom e-texts with a selected set of chapters.
