The Human Fossil Record, Craniodental Morphology of Early Hominids Volume 4 1st Edition: The Human Fossil Record series is the most authoritative and comprehensive documentation of the fossil evidence relevant to the study of our evolutionary past. It fills the critical need for a complete resource that provides detailed morphological descriptions based on uniformly applied protocols, along with all new photographs taken exclusively for the series. This fourth volume covers the craniodental remains of early hominids of the genera Australopithecus, Paranthropus, Orrorin, as well as providing a concluding survey of hominid craniodental morphologies.

In this monumental and groundbreaking new series, the authors use clearly defined terminology and descriptive protocols that are applied uniformly throughout. Organized alphabetically by site name, with detailed morphological descriptions and original, expertly taken photographs, each entry features:
* Morphology
* Location information
* History of discovery
* Previous systematic assessments of the fossils
* Geological, archaeological, and faunal contexts
* Dating
* References to the primary literature

The Human Fossil Record series is truly a must-have reference for anyone interested in the study of human evolution.
