Reviews for Wiley-Blackwell Student Dictionary of Human Evolution
"There is a lot of information in it and the topics are well-described. As the title makes explicit, it is aimed at students, but it would be of use to anyone with more than a passing interest in human evolution. Even the expert might find it useful for the listing of fossils and sites." (Reference Reviews 2015)
