| Abstract: |
In the previous chapters, we have surveyed the evidence for over-water dispersal undertaken by archaic members of our genus. Setting aside for now the vagaries of palaeogeography, the reader will no doubt appreciate that the archaeological and palaeoanthropological data are, in many respects, equivocal. At a very general level, the evidence suggests that it is demonstrably not the case that archaic hominins were regularly moving across significant water gaps and occupying new territories during the Pleistocene.
