Subject: RE: paleoanthropology
There are several books that are good paleoanthro books but it depends upon
what you want. I wouldn't recommend anything from Ian Tattersall as he is
too biased to take note of his opposition. Timewalkers, by Clive Gamble is a
good overview. Chris Stringer and Clive Gamble, In Search of the
Neanderthals. Johanson's books are good for the Australopithecine stage of
evolution: Lucy's Child and Lucy.
As to looking for the paleopsychology DON'T bother with Stephen Mithen's
Prehistory of the Mind. He ignores more evidence than dogs have fleas.
If I were still selling my books, which I am not, I would recommend Adam
Apes and Anthropology. I goes into the spiritual development of man. You
might be able to find a copy via interlibrary loan.
