New fossil evidence is adding ever more pieces to the puzzle of our past; the new science of ancient DNA is completely reshaping theories of early human populations and migrations. Bernard Wood traces the field of palaeoanthropology from its beginnings in the eighteenth century to the present.
	A Primer of Molecular Population Genetics £39.99 Asher D. Cutter 9780198838951 Paperback June 2019 Provides a concise, accessible introduction to the principle ideas, methods, and caveats for understanding evolution at the molecular level.

	Origins of Biodiversity: An Introduction to Macroevolution and Macroecology £31.99 Lindell Bromham, Marcel Cardillo 9780199608713 Paperback May 2019 The only introduction to macroevolution and macroecology to adopt an innovative enquiry-led, case study-based framework to encourage active learning and critical thinking.
	Making Eden: How Plants Transformed a Barren Planet £20.00 David Beerling 9780198798309 Hardback March 2019 Plants are absolutely fundamental to the functioning of life on earth. But how did the earliest plants first emerge from water and conquer the continents? Using the latest research, David Beerling tells their evolutionary story. And, as we face catastrophic loss of biodiversity, he highlights the profound effect they have on ecosystems and climate.
	The Smart Neanderthal: Bird catching, Cave Art, and the Cognitive Revolution £20.00 Clive Finlayson 9780198797524 Hardback February 2019 Evidence that Neanderthals caught birds and used their feathers for decoration, along with recent discoveries of Neanderthal cave art, are challenging our preconceptions of the cognitive gap between Neanderthals and modern humans. Clive Finlayson draws on new evidence to overturn the old image of the Neanderthal, and our relationship with them.
	The Cradle of Humanity: How the changing landscape of Africa made us so smart £9.99 Mark Maslin 9780198704539 Paperback January 2019 What drove the evolution of humans, with our uniquely big brains?

	Reptiles: A Very Short Introduction £8.99 T. S. Kemp 9780198806417 Paperback January 2019 Very Short Introductions From dinosaurs to lizards, snakes, and turtles, Tom Kemp considers the range of reptiles which have walked our Earth. Exploring how evolutionary adaptions have fitted them to their individual niches, he discusses their biology, such as cold bloodedness and feeding habits, and analyses why reptiles have been so successful throughout history.
	Eyes to See: The Astonishing Variety of Vision in Nature £18.99 Michael Land 9780198747710 Hardback November 2018 The spectacular capacity to see the world around them has evolved in many different ways among animals.

	Moonstruck: How lunar cycles affect life £10.99 Ernest Naylor 9780198724223 Paperback October 2018 Compared to well established circadian rhythms, scientific evidence for biological clocks linked to the Moon has only recently become recognized. This book describes the growing evidence for lunar influences on animal behaviour, and considers whether humans may be affected too.
	Sexual Selection: A Very Short Introduction £7.99 Marlene Zuk, Leigh W. Simmons 9780198778752 Paperback August 2018 Very Short Introductions Sexual selection, Darwin's other big idea, is the selection for particular traits and behaviours that results from (usually) female choice and male competition. It can produce flamboyant features, such as the peacock's tail, which would seem to be detrimental to survival. This book explores our understanding of how sexual selection works.
	Evolution Fourth Edition £49.99 Douglas J. Futuyma, Mark Kirkpatrick 9781605357409 Paperback October 2017 The classic evolutionary text updated to reflect the fast-moving field of bioinformatics.
