Résumé :
Excerpt from Contemporary Issues in Human Evolution

As befits the nature of anthropology today, the Wattis Symposia are envisioned as being explicitly multidisciplinary. The theme of the first symposium, human origins, brought together widely recognized scholars from the fields of paleoanthropology, vertebrate paleontology, archaeology and molecular anthropology. Future symposia will do likewise for different subjects and will, to the greatest extent possible, integrate scholarship from the four fields which constitute anthropology in its broadest sense, namely, cultural anthropology, physical anthropology, archaeology and anthropo logical linguistics.

It is has been a pleasure to have been involved in the production of this first symposium volume, which, we hope, will stand as a lasting tribute to the vision, generosity and seemingly boundless enthusiasm of Phyllis Wattis.
