The Global Prehistory of Human Migration cover

Previously published as the first volume of The Encyclopedia of Global Human Migration, this work is devoted exclusively to prehistoric migration, covering all periods and places from the first hominin migrations out of Africa through the end of prehistory.

  • Presents interdisciplinary coverage of this topic, including scholarship from the fields of archaeology, anthropology, genetics, biology, linguistics, and more
  • Includes contributions from a diverse international team of authors, representing 17 countries and a variety of disciplines
  • Divided into two sections, covering the Pleistocene and Holocene; each section examines human migration through chapters that focus on different regional and disciplinary lenses

 

“As a first port of call for students looking for dates, locations, and references, it is of great value in essay-writing but little beyond that.”  (Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, 1 March 2016)

"This immensely powerful narrative... is and will continue to be an invaluable and authoritative first point of call."  (Journal of Anthropological Research, 1 October 2015)
