Reviews

A fascinating evolutionary and social history of our relationship with a wide range of commensal mammal and bird species, raising the question of what it really means to be a wild animal. This important interdisciplinary study will be of great interest and relevance to both archaeologists and biologists. Dr. Samuel Turvey, Zoological Society of London.
