The First Boat People, first published in 2006, 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.
