The Omo-Turkana area is unlike any place on earth. Spanning parts
of Ethiopia, South Sudan and Kenya, the area is today home to a
unique diversity of peoples and cultures. Extraordinary fossil
finds from the locale have illuminated the evolutionary origins of
our species and archaeological and historical evidence has
demonstrated it has been a dynamic crossroads of peoples, languages
and identities for millennia. Over the past two decades,
development interventions have transformed the environment and
presented a threat to local forms of material and intangible
heritage. Many local groups now face challenges to the long-term
sustainability of their traditional ways of life. This sumptuously
illustrated book brings together a remarkable collection of the
world's leading archaeologists, ecologists, historians and
ethnographers who specialise in the locale. Recognising the
Omo-Turkana area as a crucial resource of global heritage, the
authors also acknowledge its current vulnerability.
