I liked the following:
Trinkaus E. and Shipman P.: The neandertals, New York:Alfred E. Knopf,
1992.
Tattersall I.: The human oddyssey: four million years of human
evolution, New York:Prentice Hall, 1993. (based on the Hall of Human
Biology and Evolution at the American Museum of Natural History)
Reader J.: Missing links: the hunt for earliest man,
Boston,MA:Little,Brown, 1981. (a good history of paleoanthropology,
with many excellent pictures)
Lewin R.: Bones of contention: controversies in the search for human
origins, New York:Simon and Schuster, 1987. (discusses in detail some
of the major controversies that have occurred in paleoanthropology)
Feder K.L. and Park M.A.: Human antiquity: an introduction to physical
anthropology and archaeology, Mountain View, California:Mayfield
Publishing, 1989. (an introductory university-level anthropology
textbook)
Day M.H.: Guide to fossil man, Chicago:University of Chicago Press,
1986. Ed. 4 (a comprehensive listing of hominid fossils)
Burenhult G.: The first humans: human origins and history to 10,000 BC,
New York:HarperCollins, 1993. (large beautifully illustrated book, but
with more emphasis on cultural aspects than on evolution)
