The First Boat People shows how people travelled across the world during the Pleistocene. It looks at why and where these migrations happened and proposes that early human populations were larger than previously thought, leading to the migrations of people into Australia during the last two Ice Ages. Investigating who these people were and what they might have looked like, the book also describes the earliest human remains yet found in Australia. It is a stimulating account for students and researchers in biological anthropology, human evolution and archaeology.

Autorenporträt
STEVE WEBB is Professor of Australian Studies at Bond University, in Queensland, Australia. He has previously carried out a pioneering palaeopathological study of Aboriginal health patterns prior to European colonisation, and has previously published Paleopathology of Aboriginal Australians (1995; ISBN 0521 460441). His research now concentrates on Australian regional human evolution, reasons for the extinction of Australia's megafauna, Upper Pleistocene migration and the earliest human settlement of the continent. His particular focus is on palaeoenvironmental change accompanying the last two glaciations in Central Australia to understand more fully megafaunal extinction in the region, and the timing of the first human entry into Australia.
