Description

In the Footsteps of Our Ancestors details, through archaeological analysis, the dispersal of our species, Homo sapiens, out of Africa and into Asia and Oceania. This book provides a comprehensive picture of early human migration and provides crucial information to our understanding of the global story of human evolution and cultural diversification.

Chapters from an international team of experts provide the necessary geographical and temporal coverage for this ambitious book.

Controversies around timing and pathways and competing models are explored in an area where archaeological data can be scarce.

Genetic and archaeological data often seem inconsistent but this book uses the latest developments in archaeological science to maximise the amount of information from genetic data.

This cutting-edge analysis is used to help plot the pattern of migration or migrations that lead to the contemporary cosmopolitan distribution of our species.

In the absence of up-to-date treatments, this book provides the only comprehensive coverage of this important topic and is a major scientific contribution to archaeology and evolutionary anthropology that will help shape the direction of future research for years to come. In the Footsteps of Our Ancestors is an essential text for researchers and students of archaeology, anthropology and human evolution.
