● 內文簡介

Around 60,000 years ago, the first human beings stepped out of Africa. At some point in the 21st century, a human will set foot on Mars. In 50 maps and graphics, Where Humans Go visualizes these journeys, and many in between.

The explosion in the collection and use of data has had a profound impact on the way we chart and understand human movement. People are now routinely tracked by their mobile phone manufacturers, credit crd providers and even at their local supermarkets. Combining the latest research from the forefront of the data revolution with these huge information flows, James Cheshire and Oliver Uberti show how technology is transforming our understanding of human movement. From ancient trade routes and pilgrim trails to space travel and the global refugee crisis, where humans have been and why we travel reveal fascinating and timely stories about our humanity, and our inhumanity.
