Holly M. Dunsworth is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Anthropology at the Pennsylvania State University. When not collecting fossils in Kenya or the Republic of Georgia, she uses sophisticated imaging technology to look at their inner structures. By interpreting clues from the outer and inner anatomy of bones, she reconstructs the biology and behavior of fossil monkeys, apes, and hominins to better understand how humans arrived at their present state.

Dunsworth offers students and general readers an introductory exploration of human origins and evolution. Coverage includes a brief history of the search for human origins and human evolutionary studies; evolutionary theory and Darwin's formulation of the theory of evolution by natural selection and by sexual selection; fossil and archaeological records; recent advances that the field of genetics has made in understanding human origins and evolution; and ways of interpreting the evidence from living animal models, fossils, artifacts, and genetics.
