The study of human evolution is advancing rapidly. Newly discovered fossil evidence is adding ever more pieces to the puzzle of our past, while revolutionary technological advances in the study of ancient DNA are completely reshaping theories of early human populations and migrations.

In this Very Short Introduction, Bernard Wood traces the history of paleoanthropology from its beginnings in the 18th century to the very latest fossil finds. In this new edition, he discusses how ancient DNA studies have revolutionized how we view the recent (post-550 ka) human evolution, and the process of speciation. The combination of ancient and modern human DNA has contributed to discoveries of new taxa, as well as the suggestion of "ghost" taxa whose fossil records still remain to be discovered. Considering the contributions of related sciences such as paleoclimatology, geochronology, systematics, genetics, and developmental biology, Wood explores our latest understandings of our own evolution.

This is a succinct, accessible and informative introductory book on current concepts and methods in paleoanthropology and on what we know about the evolution of man dating back 7-8 million years.
The audible book can be listened to alone with helpful supplementation from tables/charts accessible via internet searches. Even better comprehension is available by simultaneous study of illustrations, figures and tables that are available in the excellent Kindle version of the book that also provides suggestions for further study (books and internet sites).

Human Evolution is a comprehensive review of physical anthropology, is detailed, and well written. I enjoyed it immensely though I am glad I was at least somewhat familiar with most of the material.
The difficult part is comprehending the tables and charts as they are being narrated.
