Simulations, Genetics and Human Prehistory

...a very interesting snapshot of different approaches being taken by researchers to using genetic evidence in the study of prehistory, and in routes that may lead to the development of more complex tools. The volume also includes a CD containing material relating to models discussed in one of the Chapters offering the reader the opportunity to consider and evaluate three simulated population history scenarios.' ~Martin Paul Evison, University of Toronto, Journal of Archaeological Science, 36, 2009

I have found, as I am sure most people will, that this
book is appealing and enjoyable, and I am confident that it
will be accessible to all. The book is written throughout in
non-specialist language and covers such a vast range of fascinating
topics that I think it is essential for everybody. It is
written by scholars with on-going research in the field and
with long histories of similar research and so you could not
wish for a more well-informed text. The figures are very informative
and are well utilized, offering an invaluable aid
to the text. At $50 there is no excuse for not having this book
in your collection.' ~Kyle Billington, Department of Archaeology, University of Sheffield, Paleoanthropology, 2011
