• Matsumura (evolution and ecology, International Institute for Applied System, Austria), Forster (life sciences, Anglia Ruskin U., UK), and Renfrew (archaeology, U. of Cambridge, UK) edit papers selected from a symposium on the topic held at the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research in 2005. Twenty chapters are presented in the themes of out of Africa, human dispersal from Asia, methodological challenges in ancestral inference, comments from archaeologists, and discussions on the existing methodology. An included CD-ROM contains simulated data sets produced for the workshop. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
