Reviews
From the reviews: "A basic premise of this work is that 'human migration into space will be the continuation of the natural process of evolution.' ... the authors examine the pros and cons of colonization and conclude that it both can and should be attempted. To support their case, they note some potential catastrophes that could lead to the extinction of humans, and believe that space colonization may be necessary for the survival of the human species. ... Summing Up: Recommended. Lower- and upper-division undergraduates and general readers." (T.

They make space colonization seems like a natural step by demonstrating that if will continue the human species' 4 million-year-old legacy of adaptation to difficult new environments. The authors present many examples from the history of human expansion into new environments, including two amazing tales of human colonization - the prehistoric settlement of the upper Arctic around 5,000 years ago and the colonization of the Pacific islands around 3,000 years ago - which show that space exploration is no more about rockets and robots that Arctic exploration was about boating!, Emigrating Beyond Earth puts space colonization into the context of human evolution.
