Drawing upon invasion biology and the latest archaeological,
skeletal and environment evidence, From Arabia to the Pacific
documents the migration of humans into Asia, and explains why we
were so successful as a colonising species. The colonisation of
Asia by our species was one of the most momentous events in human
evolution. Starting around or before 100,000 years ago, humans
began to disperse out of Africa and into the Arabian Peninsula, and
then across southern Asia through India, Southeast Asia and south
China. They learnt to build boats and sail to the islands of
Southeast Asia, from which they reached Australia by 50,000 years
ago. Around that time, humans also dispersed from the Levant
through Iran, Central Asia, southern Siberia, Mongolia, the Tibetan
Plateau, north China and the Japanese islands, and they also
colonised Siberia as far north as the Arctic Ocean. By 30,000 years
ago, humans had colonised the whole of Asia from Arabia to the
Pacific, and from the Arctic to the Indian Ocean as well as the
European Peninsula. In doing so, we replaced all other types of
humans such as Neandertals and ended five million years of human
diversity. Using interdisciplinary source material, From Arabia to
the Pacific charts this process and draws conclusions as to the
factors which made it possible. It will be invaluable to scholars
of prehistory, and archaeologists and anthropologists interested in
how the human species moved out of Africa and spread throughout
Asia.
