The Next Great Migration: The Beauty and Terror of Life on the Move
#3708 of 3,809 books · #565 in Science & Technology
Shortlisted for the PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award (2021).
Unhampered by borders, migration allowed our ancestors to people the planet, into the highest reaches of the Himalayan Mountains and the most remote islands of the Pacific, disseminating the biological, cultural and social diversity that ecosystems and societies depend upon. In other words, migration is not the crisis - it is the solution.
