I'm presently reading the book Race And Human Evolution written by Milford Wolpoff and Rachel Caspari. Rachel is Milford's wife and (also) a paleoanthropologist. Their book is very dry and difficult to read and probably should be titled A History Of Anthropology. Unless you're really into anthropology, I don't recommend it.

Regardless, one thing I found interesting in the book is their study of the Neanderthals which they claim is in the line of Modern Human evolution and that I agree with. The Neanderthal heavy brow ridge is one of their defining skull features and it is pointed out that present day (Modern) Australian Aboriginies have brow ridges that are as great or greater that the Neanderthals.

Rachel is one of the authors of this article.
