像许多其他科学领域一样，古人类学已经因为二十世纪末传统学科界限的瓦解和重新制定而发生了革命性的变化。曾经在该领域占据主导地位的人类古生物学家，现在必须越来越多地利用分子遗传学家、地质年代学家、考古学家和其他专家的研究来解决主要的古人类学问题。正如对本书的贡献所表明的那样，多学科方法尤其影响了现代人类起源这一引人入胜且极具争议性的问题。考虑到这些贡献，我在这里的目的是总结现代人类起源的主要相互竞争的解释，并概述遗传学、地质年代学和考古学如何帮助在它们之间做出选择。
Like many other scientific fields, paleoanthropology has been revolutionized by the late twentieth-century breakdown and reformulation of traditional disciplinary boundaries. Human paleontologists, who once dominated the field, must now draw increasingly on research by molecular geneticists, geochronologists, archeologists, and other specialists to address major paleoanthropological questions. As illustrated by the contributions to this volume, the multidisciplinary approach has especially influenced the fascinating and highly controversial issue of modern human origins. With these contributions in mind, my purpose here is to summarize the major competing explanations for modern human origins and to outline how genetics, geochronology, and archeology can help to choose between them.
