Abstract:

This volume provides the most up-to-date and holistic but compact account of
the peopling of the world from the perspective of language, genes and material
culture, presenting a view from the Himalayas. The phylogeny of language
families, the chronology of branching of linguistic family trees and the
historical and modern geographical distribution of language communities inform
us about the spread of languages and linguistic phyla. The global distribution
and the chronology of spread of Y chromosomal haplogroups appears closely
correlated with the spread of language families. New findings on ancient DNA
have greatly enhanced our understanding of the prehistory and provenance of
our biological ancestors. The archaeological study of past material cultures
provides yet a third independent window onto the complex prehistory of our
species.
