Good paleoanthropology books?

[RunSwimSurf]

Can anyone recommend any good paleoanthropology books?
I've searched through the books on Amazon and I'm considering:
Extinct Humans - Ian Tattersall
The Last Human - Sawyer
Smithsonian Guide to Human Origins
The Dawn of Human Culture

I'm looking for a good first-time book. I don't know much about the field other than what I've learned in general humanities and anthropology classes.

The PaleoAnthropology Society can help you. (1) The latest book that they have reviewed, The Human Lineage (Foundation of Human Biology) by Matt Cartmill, Fred H. Smith, and Kaye B. Brown (Hardcover - Mar 30, 2009), can be found on Amazon.(2)
