?This dictionary describes 74 terms that Stevenson (anthropology,
Western Washington University) considers to be the most important
concepts from the discipline of physical anthropology. Terms were
selected from introductory textbooks on the subject, and entries
give the current meaning for each concept, a longer description of
its development (which reads like a literature review), a list of
references cited, and additional sources of information. Name and
subject indexes follow. The concepts are very broad in nature. As
is characteristic of dictionaries in this series, the reader is
referred to a wealth of major writings on each concept and on
important subtopics....Unique in its mission and
coverage.?-Choice
