Data from molecular genetics have changed our views on the origin, spread and timescale of our species across this planet. But how can we reveal more detail about the demography of ancient human populations? For example, is it possible to determine when and how many people arrived at a certain continent, and which route they took from a choice of geographically plausible options? One of the most promising tools for such investigation is computer simulation incorporating various demographic scenarios. The simulation outcomes must be evaluated by teams with archaeological expertise, since ... Read more

Reviews for Simulations, Genetics and Human Prehistory
...a very interesting snapshot of different approaches being taken by researchers to using genetic evidence in the study of prehistory, and in routes that may lead to the development of more complex tools. The volume also includes a CD containing material relating to models discussed in one of the Chapters offering the reader the opportunity to consider and evaluate three ... Read more
