Second Edition

Adrienne L. Zihlman


Principal Illustrations by
Carla J. Simmons


HarperCollins 2000



DEDICATION


This book is dedicated to my teacher and colleague Sherwood Washburn, University of California, Berkeley and
to my students at the University of California at Santa Cruz.



FROM THE BACK COVER:


The completely revised Human Evolution Coloring Book


* Provides an authoritative, scientific background for understanding the origins of humanity


* Includes new discoveries and information essential for students of anthropology, primatology, paleontology,
  comparative anatomy, and genetics


* Brings together evidence from living primates, fossils, and molecular studies


* Explains the latest dating methods, including radioactive, paleomagnetic, and molecular clocks


* Surveys the world of living primates, their ecology, locomotion, diet, behavior, and life histories


* Clarifies the anatomical and behavioral similarities and differences between ourselves and our closest
living relatives, the chimpanzee and the gorilla


* Resolves some long-standing mysteries about our relationship to the extinct Neanderthals


The author, Dr. Adrienne Zihlman, an anthropologist at the University of California at Santa Cruz, is
internationally known for her research on the pygmy chimpanzee, Pan paniscus; her work on the comparative
anatomy of the great apes; her studies on fossil humans; and her writings on the role of women in evolution.
