What's New- New finds: Significant additions to the book include presentation and analysis of newly discovered finds related to the age of the earliest hominids, the culture of the first anatomically modern human beings, and genetic data concerning the relationship between modern people and the Neandertals.
- Re-organization: The previous edition's Chapters 1 and 2 have been combined for a more concise introduction to the development of the science of prehistory. The chapter on the development of civilization in the New World now appears directly after the chapter on the development of civilization in the Old World for increased symmetry in the discussions of Old and New World state societies.
- Continued personalizing of the past: The new edition places the things, behaviors, and processes seen in the paleoanthropological and archaeological records into a personal context that a college student in the 21st century can understand, and even recognize.
- Engaging Online Learning Center: The timelines that preface each chapter are interactive on the Online Learning Center, along with interactive student quizzes.
