Ancient human migrations : a multidisciplinary approach
"The study of human migration is integral to the understanding of essential features of human experience. Many ancient civilizations were created and modified through migrations, and migrations of later periods gave rise to the modern ethnic map of the world, affecting ideology, economy, and politics. Historically, most human migration studies have taken a more specialized approach, often focusing on archaeology or Linguistics. Ancient Human Migrations collects outstanding papers from internationally renowned scholars to clarify the need for multidisciplinary approaches to the topic of human migrations."--pub. desc
