HUMAN PALEONTOLOGY AND PREHISTORY GEBUNDEN

The aim of the book is to present original and though-provoking essays in human paleontology
and prehistory  which are at the forefront of human evolutionary research  in honor of
Professor Yoel Rak (a leading scholar in paleoanthropology). The volume presents a collection
of original papers contributed by many of Yoel's friends and colleagues from all over the
globe. Contributions from experts around the globe fall roughly into three broad categories:
Reflections on some of the broad theoretical questions of evolution  and especially about human
evolution  the early hominins  with special emphasis on Australopithecus afarensis and
Paranthropus  and the Neanderthals  that contentious group of our closest extinct relatives.
Within and across these categories  nearly every paper addresses combinations of methodological
analytical and theoretical questions that are pertinent to the whole human evolutionary time
span. This book will appeal most to scholars and advanced students in paleoanthropology  human
paleontology and prehistoric archaeology.
