Reviews for The Global Prehistory of Human Migration

As a first port of call for students looking for dates, locations, and references, it is of great value in essay-writing but little beyond that. (Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, 1 March 2016) This immensely powerful narrative... is and will continue to be an invaluable and authoritative first point of call. (Journal of Anthropological Research, 1 October 2015)
