This landmark series provides the first comprehensive, site--by--site compendium of uniform descriptions and illustrations of fossils from all the major sites that document the human evolutionary past. The series is divided into three separate volumes, each focusing on a certain region: Volume 1: Europe; Volume 2: Asia; and Volume 3: Australia. The fossil sites are presented in alphabetical order, with each entry containing the morphological description; fossil illustrations; information on location; history of discovery; previous systematic assessments of the fossils; geological, archaeological, and faunal contexts; dating; and references to the primary literature.
