Description

Tracing the complex global story of human migration and dispersal throughout prehistory, Peter Bellwood presents a comprehensive archaeological odyssey that spans two million years.

From the initial spread of early humans out of Africa to the continental and island migrations of agricultural populations within the past 10,000 years, this book employs archaeological, linguistic, and biological evidence to demonstrate how migration has shaped the evolution of the human species.

With detailed maps throughout, Bellwood clarifies the importance of agriculture as a migratory imperative in later prehistory, highlighting its impact on population diversity across every region of the world.
