Prehistory and the present : crossing national and mythical boundaries -- Evolving scientific views of our origins : as opposed to political projections upon the prehistoric past -- A fascination with phenotypical diversity : the manifold ways in which we humans can look beautiful -- Chinoiserie old and new : language typology with and without racial prejudice -- Episodes of our shared prehistory. Beyond the linguistic Event Horizon : the sub-Himalayan hill tracts and adjacent plains serve as a conduit -- Holocene dispersals : genetic correlates of major linguistic phyla in Eastern Eurasia -- From India to Europe and back : from the Holocene to the beginnings of recorded history.
520 _a"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"--
