Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Who were the first humans to inhabit North America? According to the now familiar story, mammal hunters entered the continent some 12,000 years ago via a land bridge that spanned the Bering Sea and introduced the distinctive stone tools of the Clovis culture. Drawing from original archaeological analysis, paleoclimatic research, and genetic studies, noted archaeologists Dennis J. Stanford and Bruce A. Bradley challenge that narrative. Their hypothesis places the technological antecedents of Clovis technology in Europe, with the culture of Solutrean people in France and Spain more than 20,000 years ago, and posits that the first Americans crossed the Atlantic by boat and arrived earlier than previously thought."--Back cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When did the first settlers of the Americas arrive? What can we discover about their culture? Distinguished archaeologists and anthropologists take advantage of fresh finds from major excavations, and developments in dating techniques and paleoecology to discuss the origins and migrations of early people in ancient North America. Controversies in the field are faced, the application of new techniques examined, and new areas for inquiry identified. Of great use to professionals, the book is also a valuable resource for courses in prehistory, archaeology and related subjects. `This is a work that will stand for a long time as the most complete summary of the topic.' -- James J Hester, University of Colorado

Download or read book First Peoples in a New World written by David J. Meltzer and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2009-05-27 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 12,000 years ago, in one of the greatest triumphs of prehistory, humans colonized North America, a continent that was then truly a new world. Just when and how they did so has been one of the most perplexing and controversial questions in archaeology. This dazzling, cutting-edge synthesis, written for a wide audience by an archaeologist who has long been at the center of these debates, tells the scientific story of the first Americans: where they came from, when they arrived, and how they met the challenges of moving across the vast, unknown landscapes of Ice Age North America. David J. Meltzer pulls together the latest ideas from archaeology, geology, linguistics, skeletal biology, genetics, and other fields to trace the breakthroughs that have revolutionized our understanding in recent years. Among many other topics, he explores disputes over the hemisphere's oldest and most controversial sites and considers how the first Americans coped with changing global climates. He also confronts some radical claims: that the Americas were colonized from Europe or that a crashing comet obliterated the Pleistocene megafauna. Full of entertaining descriptions of on-site encounters, personalities, and controversies, this is a compelling behind-the-scenes account of how science is illuminating our past.

This book was released on 2021-07 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2022 Choice Outstanding Academic Title The Indigenous Paleolithic of the Western Hemisphere is a reclaimed history of the deep past of Indigenous people in North and South America during the Paleolithic. Paulette F. C. Steeves mines evidence from archaeology sites and Paleolithic environments, landscapes, and mammalian and human migrations to make the case that people have been in the Western Hemisphere not only just prior to Clovis sites (10,200 years ago) but for more than 60,000 years, and likely more than 100,000 years. Steeves discusses the political history of American anthropology to focus on why pre-Clovis sites have been dismissed by the field for nearly a century. She explores supporting evidence from genetics and linguistic anthropology regarding First Peoples and time frames of early migrations. Additionally, she highlights the work and struggles faced by a small yet vibrant group of American and European archaeologists who have excavated and reported on numerous pre-Clovis archaeology sites. In this first book on Paleolithic archaeology of the Americas written from an Indigenous perspective, The Indigenous Paleolithic of the Western Hemisphere includes Indigenous oral traditions, archaeological evidence, and a critical and decolonizing discussion of the development of archaeology in the Americas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where did we come from? What were our ancestors like? Why do we differ from other animals? How do scientists trace and construct our evolutionary history? The Evolution of Our Tribe: Hominini provides answers to these questions and more. The book explores the field of paleoanthropology past and present. Beginning over 65 million years ago, Welker traces the evolution of our species, the environments and selective forces that shaped our ancestors, their physical and cultural adaptations, and the people and places involved with their discovery and study. It is designed as a textbook for a course on Human Evolution but can also serve as an introductory text for relevant sections of courses in Biological or General Anthropology or general interest. It is both a comprehensive technical reference for relevant terms, theories, methods, and species and an overview of the people, places, and discoveries that have imbued paleoanthropology with such fascination, romance, and mystery.
Download or read book Prehistoric Man in the New World written by Pedro Armillas and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1964 with total page 646 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Estimates of man's antiquity in the Americas vary from about 12,000 to as much as 30,000 to 40,000 years. Clear evidence indicates that he lived in North America as early as 12,000 years ago as a hunter of mammoths and bison. The highest development of American Indian culture followed much later in the civilizations based on agriculture of Mesoamerica and northern South America. Learning the complete record of man's life in the New World has been one of the goals of archeology, and recent research has greatly increased our knowledge of this subject. But the vastness of the area and the variations in the quality and quantity of the data found in different parts of the country make American prehistory as unwieldy a subject as it is fascinating. Archeologists in this field long ago became specialists in restricted geographical areas, and it grows increasingly difficult to gain an over-all view. Geologists and linguists, too, have contributed through research in their disciplines to the literature of American prehistory. The volume performs a unique service for professional archeologists and lay readers alike in bringing together in straightforward, non-technical language the principal findings of the most recent research as well as the accumulated results of many years' study.." --
