	Paleoanthropology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Paleoanthropology is the branch of physical anthropology (often called biological anthropology) that focuses on the study of human evolution, tracing the anatomic, behavioral and genetic linkages of pre-humans from millions of years ago up to modern times.
		The discovery of the Neanderthal in Germany, Thomas Huxley's Evidence as to Man's Place in Nature, and Charles Darwin's The Descent of Man were all important to early paleoanthropological research.
		paleoanthropology began in the 19th century with the discovery of "Neanderthal man" (the eponymous skeleton was found in 1856, but there had been finds elsewhere since 1830), and with evidence of so-called cave men.

	Amazon.co.uk: Paleoanthropology: Books: Milford H. Wolpoff (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Since the first edition was introduced in 1980, Paleoanthropology has been the leading text for the upper-level undergraduate or graduate course in human evolution.
		Written by one of the world's experts, "Paleoanthropology" is known for its comprehensive coverage of all aspects of human evolution.
		Designed to be used in any paleoanthropology course, the 2/e continues to feature a basic, yet detailed introduction to the study of human evolution, and to provide a consistent framework from which to study.

	John Hawks Anthropology Weblog : Pork barrel paleoanthropology
		Paleoanthropology is among the worst, because so many different stakeholders contribute to the work: anthropologists, archaeologists, geneticists, geologists, and so on.
		This is by far the most common way of working in paleoanthropology; reading nothing at all in a research article except for the abstract and the conclusion.
		I think that this kind of work will only grow in importance: as paleoanthropology spreads to encompass the genome as a whole, there will need to be much more coordination of different fields with each other.

	Handbook of Paleoanthropology - Wal-Mart
		Paleoanthropology is perhaps the most multidisciplinary of all the sciences.
		Paleoanthropology is also an actively developing field in which much remains to be settled.
		The three volumes of this handbook bring together contributions by the worlds leading specialists that reflect the broad spectrum of modern paleoanthropology, thus presenting an indispensable resource for both professionals and students alike.

		Paleoanthropology is a specialized branch of Paleontology and physical anthropology involved with the study of ancient human beings.
		Paleoanthropolgists are those investigating the origin and subsequent evolution of human physiology by examining fossil remains and other ancient evidence.
		The finding, they say, suggests scientists should rethink whether we actually descended from apes resembling chimpanzees, which are considered our closest relatives.

	Bones of Contention
		And as preconceptions are the lens through which each scientist views the questions to be asked about the world and the "facts" perceived therein, there is always a good deal of room for lively disagreement.
		Moreover, his public disagreements over the shape of the human family tree with his Oxford colleague Solly (now Lord Zuckerman and with Louis Leakey are prominent in the annals of the science of paleoanthropology, as is his involvement in unmasking the Piltdown fraud.
		Paleoanthropology is like all other sciences, only more so.

		Paleoanthropology is separated into four parts, with a total of 14 chapters ranging from descriptions of the process of evolution, to the distinguishing anatomical features of the Anthropoidea and the hominins, and to the late Pleistocene.
		It is not a book for newcomers who should introduce themselves to the subject through a more general summary; rather it is for the dedicated amateur and scholars to utilise at graduate level and as a professional reference work.
		"Paleoanthropology" is, and deserves to be, the standard against which all paleoanthropology texts should be measured.

	John Hawks Anthropology Weblog : Comparing astronomy to paleoanthropology
		Without as strong a tradition of circulating results, paleoanthropology is at a comparable disadvantage when it comes to quality of science.
		This is not necessarily bad; indeed, I would say that our research results ultimately undergo a much higher degree of scrutiny than most in the physical sciences.
		The Paleoanthropology Society has already begun making dissertations available for download -- a sort of mini-arXiv for theses, with participation voluntary.

	Paleoanthropology
		Paleoanthropology - Ancient island tools suggest Homo erectus was a seafarer.
		For more than a century, one of the central questions in paleoanthropology has been whether modern man evolved from this hominid -- or was the Neanderthal a separate branch that became extinct?
		In general, 'Neanderthals' is the informal designation of a morphologically distinctive group of large-brained hominids who inhabited Europe and western Asia between approximately 200,000 and less than 30,000 years ago.

		It recognizes that paleoanthropology is multidisciplinary in nature and the organization's central goal is to bring together physical anthropologists, archaeologists, paleontologists, geologists and a range of other researchers whose work has the potential to shed light on hominid behavioral and biological evolution. ;
		The Institute of Human Origins, a non-profit, multidisciplinary research organization affiliated with Arizona State University, is dedicated to the recovery and analysis of the fossil evidence for human evolution.
		IHO seeks to provide a singular research environment for leading investigators of paleoanthropology and, through the coordinated interaction of scientists, strives to allocate its resources strategically to permit research on the most important questions yet to be answered regarding the course, cause, and timing of biological and behavioral events in human evolution.

		Part of the Biological Anthropology Program, the Paleoanthropology Laboratory serves as the locus for a broad range of activities focusing on the evolution of hominoids, including hominins, as well as other mammals.
		Collaborations with other Program labs (functional morphology, primate behavioral and reproductive ecology, isotopic and materials research, genetics and genomics), as well as with other universities (Poitiers, Boston University), make possible interdisciplinary approaches to questions covering phylogenetics, systematics, behavioral reconstruction, broad patterns of faunal change and evolution, and paleoecology.
		Fieldwork is strongly encouraged of all students, and is normally readily arranged.

		The simple answer is that a paleoanthropologist is a person who studies the origins of humans through fossils and artifacts.
		However, the field of paleoanthropology is highly complex, with each related discipline influencing and furthering each of the others.
		Student presentations and displays should reflect an understanding of the resources and projects studied, with a focus on the interconnectedness of topics in the field of paleoanthropology.

		Thereafter the text carries the story of human life on the subcontinent through distinct cultural periods from the Paleolithic to the Iron Age.
		The book entitled "God-Apes and Fossil men: Paleoanthropology of South Asia" was of interest to me I read the book from a friend.
		The major merit of authors approach has been a critical presentation of European concepts of human origins, biological diversity, and pre-historic life ways, and to appraise the reader about how those concepts were superimposed upon more native traditions, which addressed many of the same questions but from within an entirely distinctive cultural context and perceptions.

	Virtual Paleoanthropology
		The field of Human Paleontology and Physical Anthropology has been revolutionized by the development of what is more and more commonly called “virtual paleoanthropology”.
		In the near future, the anatomy of the fossil hominids that usually represent rare and precious museum items, will no longer be studied on the specimens themselves but on virtual representation.
		Gathering these numerical data, building virtual collections and being top notch in their analysis is one main axis of activity of the paleoanthropology group.
