Over 70 scholars have contributed to this Encyclopaedia. The human species is placed in an evolutionary perspective, and a wide range of topics are covered - from genetics, primatology, and fossil origins to human biology and ecology, brain function and behaviour, and demography and disease. Attention is also paid to the evolution and ecology of the living primates, our closest evolutionary relatives. It also deals with the evolution and ecology of human society and considers the biology of uniquely human abilities such as language and upright walking.
