There's a book by John Philip Cohane titled "The Key". which examines the possible worldwide dissemination of primitive Semitic cultures through linguistic study.

Interesting, but somewhat dry and in some places mind-numbing linguistic tracking down of place-names and claims there were two Pacific migrations thousands of years ago.

One comment I thought was really interesting was that places with double names like Pango Pango, Walla Walla, Bora Bora were always at the end of the track, indicating they were a "We stopped here." indicator.
