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.
