Bernard Grant Campbell Books

In this revised fourth edition, the classic introduction to human evolution has been updated to reflect major findings in modern research and theory. It offers a comprehensive account of human evolution, incorporating new developments in microbiology and recent fossil discoveries. The text maintains the thematic structure of the previous edition, addressing topics such as human variability, speciation, primate locomotion, nonverbal communication, and the evolution of language. Enhanced by over 150 illustrations, the edition also features an expanded glossary and bibliography. It examines evolution as a simultaneous development of key behavioral and functional complexes within the genus Homo, including motor control, locomotion, mastication, digestion, sensory functions, and reproduction. Each complex is analyzed for its changing function, emphasizing the interdependence of these systems throughout human evolution. The book situates these discussions within contemporary evolutionary and genetic theory, alongside analyses of the fossil record and insights from primatology and comparative morphology. This edition serves as a primary text for undergraduate and graduate courses, and is essential reading for anthropologists, biologists, and anyone interested in human evolution.

With the exception of the Grand Canyon itself, none of the great gorges of the American Southwest is more uniquely beautiful than Canyon de Chelly, with its sheer red cliffs and innumerable prehistoric Indian dwellings. Of all the important centers of prehistoric Anasazi culture, only this magnificent canyon shows an unbroken record of settlement for more than 1,000 years.In this liberally illustrated book, rock art authority Campbell Grant examines four aspects of the spectacular canyon: its physical characteristics, its history of human habitation, its explorers and archaeologists, and its countless rock paintings and petroglyphs. Grant surveys 96 sites in the two main canyons and offers an interpretation of the rock art found there.
