This fascinating study traces the connections among regions brought about by the movement of people, diseases, crops, technology and ideas.
Drawing on examples from a wide range of geographical regions and thematic areas, Manning covers:
* earliest human migrations, including the earliest hominids, their development and spread, and the controversy surrounding the rise of homo sapiens
* the rise and spread of major language groups
* examination of civilizations, farmers and pastoralists from 3000 BCE to 500 CE
* trade patterns including the early Silk Road and maritime trade in the Mediterranean and Indian Ocean
* the effect of migration on empire and industry between 1700 and 1900
* the resurgence of migration in the later twentieth century, including movement to cities, refugees and diasporas.
