This work explores the long-term evolutionary implications of the "Mobility Imperative:" the foundational nature of mobility for human beings and their societies. The author puts forward a parsimonious but comprehensive model based on Extended Evolutionary Synthesis (EES) rationales. The selected case studies range from the emergence and expansion of humans to cattle domestication and beyond.

This delightful primer places mobility where it belongs—at the heart of human history. A must read, for anyone interested in how movement impacted history.
Shadreck Chirikure, University of Cape Town
Augustin Holl makes a strong case for mobility as a major determining factor in human biological and cultural evolution. His selected examples—from Holocene Africa and Oceania, and also previous Pleistocene stages of human evolution—make excellent reading. This is a book for specialists, students, and all readers interested in the human past.
Peter Bellwood, professor emeritus, Australian National University
