The first issue of the journal features a diverse range of articles, with seven out of fourteen focusing on human-related topics, though only four directly address human evolution. The remaining articles cover primate genetics, taxonomy, archaeological dating techniques, and drift in primate groups. The book review section includes older publications, but the "Book News" section is innovative and informative. The quality of the articles is high, and the editorial board is impressive. The Polymer Handbook, a comprehensive revision of the 1956 original, provides detailed information on various polymers, though it lacks some modern insights into temperature and time-dependent properties. The book "Living Mechanisms: Biomechanics" edited by Y. C. Fung, N. Perrone, and M. Anliker, focuses on the mechanical aspects of biological structures, particularly cardiovascular and pulmonary systems, and is valuable for engineers and biologists interested in the relationship between structure and function. However, it lacks a strong dialogue between biologists and engineers and does not cover muscle mechanics or body movement in depth.The first issue of the journal features a diverse range of articles, with seven out of fourteen focusing on human-related topics, though only four directly address human evolution.
