| 520 | |a The First Boat People concerns how people travelled across the world to Australia, in the Pleistocene era. It traces movement from Africa to Australia, offering a new view of population growth at that time, challenging current ideas and underscoring problems with the 'Out of Africa' theory of how modern humans emerged. The variety of routes, strategies and opportunities that could have been used by those first migrants is proposed against the very different regional geography that existed at the time. Steve Webb shows the impact of human entry into Australia on the megafauna, using fresh evidence from his work in Central Australia, including a description of palaeoenvironmental conditions existing there during the last two glaciations. He argues for an early human arrival and describes in detail the skeletal evidence for the first Australians. | ||
