商品簡介
Proceedings of an October 1998 conference held in Venice, Italy, recognizing the contribution of Luca Cavalli-Sforza in pioneering the interdisciplinary study of archaeology and human genetics. Eighteen contributions are organized into sections on looking backward at the spread of farming; the origins of agriculture; transitions in southern Europe, and in Central and Northern Europe; human genes and languages; and future research directions. A sampling of topics: a comparative perspective on investigating agricultural transitions, radiocarbon dating and interpretations of the mesolithic-neolithic transition in Italy, neolithic dispersals in riverine interior central Europe, and the mitochondrial landscape.
