How Humans Evolved
I found this book left behind in my boyfriend's sister's room when she moved out to her college apartment and decided to give it a read. For a university textbook, it's quite entertaining and easily digestible; I was able to read it straight through without looking up more than one or two concepts, and it provided a coherent and complete survey of human evolution, from Darwin's writings and theories to the behaviors and physiology of the modern !Kung and Hazda peoples. It's well-illustrated (I read the snazzy-looking seventh edition, with its matte black cover) and has short lists of suggested readings at the end of each chapter. Highly recommended if you want to learn about human heritage!
