For the first two thirds of our evolutionary history, we hominins
were restricted to Africa. Dating from about two million years ago,
hominin fossils first appear in Eurasia. This volume addresses many
of the issues surrounding this initial hominin intercontinental
dispersal. Why did hominins first leave Africa in the early
Pleistocene and not earlier? What do we know about the adaptations
of the hominins that dispersed - their diet, locomotor abilities,
cultural abilities? Was there a single dispersal event or several?
Was the hominin dispersal part of a broader faunal expansion of
African mammals northward? What route or routes did dispersing
populations take?
