Title: Fascinating, but for a very narrow audience
Review: _The Emergence of Modern Humans_ is a collection of essays by paleoarchaeolgists and anthropologists, all authorities in their fields. The essays discuss the variety of interpretations and perspectives these scholars have on the nature of early humans and their biological relation to modern humans.Trinkhaus has done a good job of presenting differing perspectives on the emergence of early humans and the scholarly dispute that continues regarding this. The only shortcoming of the collection is the narrow and specialized nature of the book - lay readers would certainly be put off by the technical data and interpretations of evidence cited.These criticisms aside, the material presented here is solidly researched and well argued and presents a good overview of the scholarly debate over the precise nature of early human evolution.
