Connections boxes show students the relevance of a particular topic being discussed to their everyday lives. In chapter 5, for example, we explore whether male aggression is an evolutionary trait.
Critical Thinking Questions at the end of each chapter ask the student to analyze and synthesize material rather than just memorize it.
Marginal Connections boxes show students other places in the text where a topic is covered, allowing the student to review material that they have already studied or read more about a topic that interests them.
What We Know/Questions That Remain features summarize key knowledge presented in the chapter and highlight the most important questions that remain to be answered. These features demonstrate the exciting nature of ongoing research in biological anthropology.
Chapter-opening stories feature examples of important questions biological anthropologists have asked or answered about today's headlines (ie. How do steroids affect athletes? What do discoveries about primate culture tell us about what makes humans unique?)
