Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This book takes a unique, multi-disciplinary, and international approach to the study of the widespread Mongoloid migrations which occurred during the last Glacial period. By bringing to this model as many disciplines as possible - from molecular genetics to linguistics, archaeology to palaeoecology - a comprehensive picture is drawn which will shed light not only on this subject but also on the larger context of the origins of humans itself.
MoreLong description:
This book takes a unique, multi-disciplinary, and international approach to the study of how and where the Mongoloid originated, and how the various groups adapted to living in different environments. By bringing to the model of Mongoloid migrations as many disciplines as possible - from molecular genetics to linguistics, archaeology to palaeoecology, the authors offer a comprehensive account of the evolution of Homo sapiens and the subsequent formation of the
different races and ethnic groups.
