Synopsis
The First Boat People concerns how people travelled across the world to Australia in the Pleistocene. It traces movement from Africa to Australia, offering a new view of population growth at that time, challenging current ideas, and underscoring problems with the 'Out of Africa' theory of how modern humans emerged. The variety of routes, strategies and opportunities that could have been used by those first migrants is proposed against the very different regional geography that existed at that time. Steve Webb shows the impact of human entry into Australia on the megafauna using fresh evidence from his work in Central Australia, including a description of palaeoenvironmental conditions existing there during the last two glaciations. He argues for an early human arrival and describes in detail the skeletal evidence for the first Australians. This is a stimulating account for students and researchers in biological anthropology, human evolution and archaeology., Challenging current theories of how modern humans emerged, this book argues for an early entry of humans into Australia. It explores how, why and when people migrated across the world in the Pleistocene, and what happened to the megafauna of Australia when they got there.

- a***7 (2)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Dernier moisAchat vérifiéI didn't love anything about this seller or order. Look at the pictures and tell me this is a new product. She said it was new. There is cracks all in the base the carafe will not stand up straight. She lied. She said she didn't notice it. There is no way she didn't notice it. I will never buy anything from her again. Shame on you for selling defective merchandise. You still owe me $42.29. I have contacted ebay and the BBB.I advise you to get me my money. Everyday you make me wait I will contact

Some of the items were not perfectly spherical, but that is to be expected for this type of item. After we washed them, the spheres are really nice! Shipping was prompt It only took 4 days from the time we placed the order until the items were delivered. AZ Liquidators California gave us a nice discount and the items were packaged adequately. We are happy to be repeat customers of AZ Liquidators California!
