Ancestral journeys : the peopling of Europe from the first venturers to the Vikings

by Jean Manco

Drawing on archaeology, genetics, and linguistics, this history traces European settlement from early human arrivals to the Viking Age. It examines how successive waves of migration, technological shifts, and environmental changes shaped the continent's population.
