Synopsis
A study of 'global colonization' - the great human migration from sub-Saharan Africa across the world thousands of years ago, in which the author also offers a critique of modern European explorers and of 20th century research, which he argues has often failed to question the narrow basis of its assumptions about human origins.

Review
Why were people everywhere? Gamble offers an innovative look at how archaeologists use artifacts and human biological remains to answer this question and to describe how our human ancestors colonized the earth...[A] unique contribution. Clive Gamble picks up the project of interrogating academic explanations of the past...[His] study is impressive...The material of this book is exciting; Gamble has fruitfully appropriated the metaphors of other disciplines, literary studies in particular, for his own purposes. -- Noel Elizabeth Currie "Canadian Literature" Any book by Clive Gamble is good news for those interested in a broader, integrated view of human evolution: it will be thoughtful, provocative, and enlightening. This latest volume is no exception. Written at least in part as a response to some of the hype surrounding the 500th anniversary of Columbus's voyage, it asks the question of why people have turned out to be almost everywhere on the globe...Gamble has set himself a considerable task in seeking to weave a coherent cloth from the threads of a multitude of disciplines and subdisciplines, from archaeology through physical anthropology and paleoenvironmental reconstruction to evolutionary theory...There is much food for thought here, and ["Timewalkers"] represents the kind of effort that must be made to integrate the massive amount of information that we now have about evolution in general and the development, and context of development, of our own species in particular. -- Alan Turner "Quarterly Review of Biology"
