THE PEOPLING OF THE WORLD

Stephen Oppenheimer

 

In a brilliant synthesis of genetic, archaeological and climatic evidence, Stephen Oppenheimer shows for the first time that all modern non-Africans sprang from a single exodus out of Africa, rather than multiple waves of migration.

 

‘I can put my finger on a map and say that is where my people came from – research by Dr Oppenheimer and others has now given us all the right to say that.’
Economist

 

‘The thrill of this book lies in the vast reaches of time and space that one is deftly guided through.’
Sunday Telegraph

 

‘Telling the tale of humanity’s takeover of the world over the last 100,000 years means synthesizing fragments of evidence from many disciplines, and Oppenheimer is a master synthesizer. To discover the real daughters of Eve, read on.’ Martin Richards, University of Huddersfield

 

‘Oppenheimer strongly argues for a single movement out of Africa. He tells his story with pace and authority, combining the personal and the scientific.’
Times Literary Supplement
