Does Not Compute: Putting Three Sciences Together to Map Migrations in East Asia

Wednesday, February 03, 2010

Book:  Past Human Migrations in East Asia. Matching Archeology, Linguistics and Genetics, ed. Alicia Sanchez-Mazas et al. Routledge, Taylor & Francis, 2008.

According to the reviewer of this compilation of interdisciplinary studies, Frank Roels, writing in European Journal of Human Genetics 18:262f., the three approaches are incommensurate because of differing timeframes and rates of change. Their models cannot be harmonized with sufficient reliability to write a comprehensive, persuasive history of human migrations and settlements in East Asia.
