""The Entry of Man into the West Indies"" is a scholarly book published by Yale University Publications in Anthropology, No. 61. Written by Irving Rouse, the book explores the history of human settlement in the West Indies, specifically the Caribbean islands, from the earliest known inhabitants to the arrival of Europeans in the 15th century. Rouse's research is based on archaeological evidence and historical records, and he provides a detailed analysis of the various cultures and societies that developed in the region over time. He also examines the impact of European colonization on the indigenous populations and the subsequent development of the Caribbean as a major center of sugar production and slave trade.The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of Caribbean history and culture. Rouse provides detailed maps, photographs, and illustrations to supplement his analysis, and he also includes a comprehensive bibliography for further reading.Overall, ""The Entry of Man into the West Indies"" is a valuable resource for scholars and students of Caribbean history, anthropology, and archaeology, as well as anyone interested in the history of human migration and settlement.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
