'The Cambridge Dictionary of Human Biology and Evolution is an excellent research and study tool both for professionals of different disciplines such as anatomy, primatology, human biology, physical anthropology, physiology, auxology, genetics, palentology and zoology for students. ... an existing space in the field of reference-books. ... the publication of a special reference work to human biology and evolution was a long time overdue. For primatologists, physical anthropologists and other scientists of the human sciences the book will become certain a 'must-have' volume.'
