This is a very rich and highly specialized book that aims to provide insight into the first migratory movements in human history, starting from the earliest human species up to and including the first agricultural peoples. Bellwood uses three methodological instruments to gain insight into these migration patterns: classical archeology, linguistic studies and genetic research. His chapters and paragraphs on the latter two in particular are quite specialized, which at times makes them difficult to read. This book certainly has the merit of being very thoughtfully written, giving timely nuances, as well as having a globalist view of history: the entire planet is involved in Bellwood's story. Unfortunately, due to the rapid developments in genetic research, it has already become obsolete on a few points.
