"Peopling of the Americas publications." "Arising from a 2011 symposium sponsored by the National Museum of Nature and Science in Tokyo, this manuscript gathers the work of archaeologists from the Pacific Rim of Asia, Australia, and North America, seeking to address the relative lack of attention given to the emergence of modern human behavior as manifested in Asia during the worldwide dispersal from Africa."--Data view.
Includes bibliographies and index.
