Abstract:
This volume brings together a group of authors that address the question of the first out of Africa into Asia c. 2 Ma. The scope of the book is comprehensive as it covers almost every major region of Asia. The primary goal of this volume is to provide an updated synthesis of the current state of the Asian paleoanthropological and paleoenvironmental records. The papers include detailed studies of the theoretical constructs underlying the move out of Africa, including detailed reconstructions of the paleoenvironment and possible migration routes. Other papers detail the Plio-Pleistocene archaeol
Abstract:
Christopher J. Norton was born in Korea to Korean parents.... At about the age of one he was orphaned in Seoul (Korea) and after living in an orphanage for six months, he was then adopted by an American family. Growing up in a Caucasian-American household.... He traveled to Korea during his undergraduate days on an exchange program. -- "My original objective in going to Korea was to reconstruct my own past, but I have since expanded these interests to eastern Asian prehistory, as one of paleoanthropology's goals is to reconstruct the past without all the pieces." (Christopher J. Bae = C. J. Norton) -- Quelle: https://anthropology.manoa.hawaii.edu/christopher-bae/#edu
