A Portrait of Humankind: Current Readings in Physical Anthropology contains articles that represent some of the most recent, cutting-edge research being done in physical anthropology. They include essays on the perceived conflicts between science and faith, work in forensic anthropology, primate social behavior, human origins and evolution, and aspects of modern human variability. These readings will enhance both lecture and laboratory classes in physical anthropology, and will allow students to study a variety of topics in greater detail. This reader is intended for undergraduates attending Intro to biological anthropology classes. It can be used to facilitate discussions during the lab period and to spark student interest as they write short papers on specific topics in biological anthropology.

Selections in A Portrait of Humankind: Current Readings in Physical Anthropology are organized into five topical chapters:

- Chapter 1: Genetics and Evolutionary Theory
- Chapter 2: Osteology
- Chapter 3: Primates
- Chapter 4: Human Evolution
- Chapter 5: Human Variation
