Abstract

"Plus de 100 cartes et infographies pour comprendre les phénomènes migratoires ... et interroger nombre d'idées reçues. Les migrations concernent 220 millions de personnes dans le monde et continuent d'augmenter. Pauvreté, conflits, économie, tourisme : quels sont les facteurs réels de cette mobilité? Pays émergents, droit d'asile, main-d'oeuvre, déplacés environnementaux et apatrides, développement des bidonvilles à travers le monde : impact et conséquences des flux migratoires. Dans cette nouvelle édition entièrement mise à jour, Catherine Wihtol de Wenden souligne la nécessité de regarder les migrations à l'échelle planétaire et esquisse l'idée d'un nouvel équilibre mondial à inventer."--Page 4 of cover.

Abstract

"Migration is a widespread human activity dating back to the origin of our species. Advances in genetic sequencing have greatly increased our ability to track prehistoric and historic population movements and allowed migration to be described both as a biological and socioeconomic process. Presenting the latest research, Causes and Consequences of Human Migration provides an evolutionary perspective on human migration past and present. Crawford and Campbell have brought together leading thinkers who provide examples from different world regions, using historical, demographic and genetic methodologies, and integrating archaeological, genetic and historical evidence to reconstruct large-scale population movements in each region. Other chapters discuss established questions such as the Basque origins and the Caribbean slave trade. More recent evidence on migration in ancient and present day Mexico is also presented. Pitched at a graduate audience, this book will appeal to anyone with an interest in human population movements"--

Abstract

Who were the first humans to inhabit North America? According to the now familiar story, mammal hunters entered the continent some 12,000 years ago via a land bridge that spanned the Bering Sea. Distinctive stone tools belonging to the Clovis culture established the presence of these early New World people. But are the Clovis tools Asian in origin? Drawing from original archaeological analysis, paleoclimatic research, and genetic studies, noted archaeologists Dennis J. Stanford and Bruce A. Bradley challenge the old narrative and, in the process, counter traditional-and often subjective-approaches to archaeological testing for historical relatedness. The authors apply rigorous scholarship to a hypothesis that places the technological antecedents of Clovis in Europe and posits that the first Americans crossed the Atlantic by boat and arrived earlier than previously thought. Supplying archaeological and oceanographic evidence to support this assertion, the book dismantles the old paradigm while persuasively linking Clovis technology with the culture of the Solutrean people who occupied France and Spain more than 20,000 years ago.
