[Paragraph One]
This book surveys the research on human evolution from the many different fields of study that contribute to our knowledge. It is a history of the last hundred thousand years, relying on archeology, genetics, and linguistics. Happily, these three disciplines are now generating many new data and insights. All of them can be expected to converge toward a common story, and behind them must lie a single history. Singly, each approach has many lacunae, but hopefully their synthesis can help to fill the gaps. Other sciences - cultural anthropology, demography, economy, ecology, sociology - are joining in the effort, and are justly becoming pillars of interpretation.
