Abstract: In both contemporary world affairs and the study of hominin evolution, migration is a central topic. Homo sapiens may be ‘wise man,’ but ‘dispersing person’ may be a better description of our species. Humans are migrators par excellence. Not content with our African homeland, we colonized most of the earth. Recently, we have begun to extend beyond our own planet. Do the modern and ancient ends of the spectrum of human spatial movement feature underlying similarities? Can we bring an evolutionary perspective to recent episodes of population migration? These are the kind of themes which underpin the 26 chapters of Crawford and Campbell’s edited compilation.
