Abstract:	I review the fossil and Palaeolithic evidence, palaeoenviromental circumstances, and issues concerning the earliest peopling of Asia. Issues include long versus short chronologies for a hominid presence datum and determining migratory paths toward East Asia and the Indo-Pacific region. This review will consider biogeographic concepts such as dispersal probablities influenced by physiographic, bioclimatic and latitudinal obstacles, as well as ecological concepts such as plant and animal food biomasses and carrying capacities.
