This work explores the long-term evolutionary implications of the
"Mobility Imperative:" the foundational nature of mobility for
human beings and their societies. The author puts forward a
parsimonious but comprehensive model based on Extended Evolutionary
Synthesis (EES) rationales. The selected case studies range from
the emergence and expansion of humans to cattle domestication and
beyond.
Holocene Saharans addresses issues of continuity and change in past
life-ways as well as radical shifts in techniques, innovation and
achievements of the Saharan people during the Holocene period, the
last 10,000 years. The project is accomplished through a series of
precise case studies, each addressing a topical space-time problem.
The key pre-occupation linking the case studies is a concern with
the replicability of research protocols and the testability of
suggested results. The anthropological perspective advocated in
this book is anchored on the investigation of dynamic processes
that have shaped the archaeological record and the evolution of
past Saharan societies. The approach delineated is a broad one and
does not focus exclusively on any one of the many conflicting
approaches currently debated by archaeologists. Theoretical issues
are systematically woven with the empirical record and consistently
tested, supported or refuted with hard archaeological facts.
