Reviews

Augustin Holl makes a strong case for mobility as a major determining factor in human biological and cultural evolution. His selected examples--from Holocene Africa and Oceania, and also previous Pleistocene stages of human evolution--make excellent reading. This is a book for specialists, students, and all readers interested in the human past. --Peter Bellwood, professor emeritus, Australian National University This delightful primer places mobility where it belongs--at the heart of human history. A must read, for anyone interested in how movement impacted history. --Shadreck Chirikure, University of Cape Town
