THE SEASHORE HYPOTHESIS

and THE PRE-HISTORY OF AFRICA

Fully revised for the print edition in 2007

DENIS MONTGOMERY FRGS

This book is available for purchase in print for the first time. Seashore Man and African Eve thoroughly explores the issues in an easily-read style primarily for the lay person. But the professional scientist will find informed discussion which presents the logic of the Seashore Hypothesis equated to the latest fossil finds and research into behaviour and the driving force of seafood nutrition. New considerations of cosmic radiation, mutations and epigenetics are examined.

In the last five years there have been changes in attitude by some leading scientists. Latest fossil discoveries, advances in genetic exploration of the human genome and a new understanding of the role of nutrition have led to a growing acceptance that the evolutionary progress of Homo sapiens, at least, has a seashore dimension. Enormous technical advances in astronomical observation have shown that there may be a function of cosmic radiation in evolution. In revising his work, Denis Montgomery has reviewed latest scientific discoveries and changing opinion.

AFTER THE MIGRATION of modern people out-of-Africa at about 80,000 years ago, the emigrants peopled Asia, Australasia and Europe, and eventually the Americas and the oceanic islands. Those who remained in the heartland of Africa continued to be at the cutting edge of evolution. Arguably, theirs was the natural path of human evolution. It was the development of urban civilisation in the northern hemisphere which took humanity off on the fast-track to the present.

This book is not a comprehensive history; it is an examination of the particular themes which the author believes to be important to an understanding of what happened in Africa. Denis Montgomery spent many years studying the evolution of mankind and travelling in the places where seminal events occurred.
