The Alternative Introduction to Biological Anthropology

as the title says, it looks brand new! will def be buying again from this buyer. as for the book — so far it’s interesting, I love the author’s way of writing; it makes it easier to understand which is appreciated when it comes to scientific books.

Excellent book for mid-level anthropology classes. It would probably be great for intro-level as well but I think some of the nuances would be easily lost. The writing is engaging and interesting the whole way through. I even found myself chuckling at several parts. Highly recommend for anyone interested in anthropology, evolution, genetics, etc.

some highlighting and stuff from where i got it, but i like that kind of thing (hence why i bought it used). pretty good book, i bought it for a class and I'm not finished yet but its easy and interesting to read, in my opinion :)

Bought this for my Anthropology class. I found the way it was written to be rather interesting. I guess the author likes to keep it interesting by throwing jokes into the literature which is nice for this kind of topic. It works as a sort of comical relief.

Good condition, delivered on time. Recommend

Needed for school. Ended up being an interesting read

The title's "alternative" portion shows through at some points. For an intro class it would be fine, but if you have prior and latitudinal knowledge of the field there may be portions one will find problematic and at odds with evidential and consensus view points. Marks is also a little ham handed with blending Dawkin's-esque wit in sections that do not marry well with it, such as categorical divisions of biological ancestors in a way that can seem condescending even if you agree with him.

Although the book was underlined, the previous notes are helping me in my anthropology class. This came in handy when the bookstore ran out and I was not able to purchase it.
