					<description><![CDATA[Aside from evolutionary theory itself, the teaching of Human evolution involves physiology and reproductive biology, behavioral biology, genetics, and the fossil record itself with details of a concomitant history. And finally, there is a children&#8217;s book that addresses the latter, in amazing detail! There are very few good (or even bad) children&#8217;s books about evolution, &#8230; <a href="https://gregladen.com/blog/2019/06/06/best-childrens-book-on-human-evolution/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Best Children&#8217;s Book on Human Evolution</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

While some of the variation we see in these late members of the genus Homo certainly arose in Eurasia, these groups all represent either African populations or stems coming off an &#8230; <a href="https://gregladen.com/blog/2017/11/14/the-untermassfeld-controversy/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">The Untermassfeld Controversy</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
