Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travels and Settlements of Early Man: A Study of the Origins of Human Progress The French have a popular use of the word histoire in which it signifies a narrative that is untrue. This is a good illustration of the extent to which a term may side-slip from the middle of its meaning. For history is not properly a narrative and the task of the historian begins with the exclusion of material which is unauthentic. Pressed home to its ultimate derivation the Greek historia stands for the judgment of a man who is wise, because he has seen. Herodotus and Aristotle while preserving this essential meaning elaborated its application, the former by defining the character of the material to be visualized, the latter by expanding the form of the judgment. For Herodotus the data of history consisted of facts within the human reference. Aristotle, when he entitled histories those researches which he pursued in biology and psychology in order to ascertain the nature of living things and of the soul, established the canon that history must proceed beyond the collection and Verification of facts to their interpretation by means of a coherent hypothesis.

Download or read book Across Atlantic Ice written by Dennis J. Stanford and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2012-02-28 with total page 337 pages. 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. Distinctive stone tools belonging to the Clovis culture established the presence of these early New World people. But are the Clovis tools Asian in origin? Drawing from original archaeological analysis, paleoclimatic research, and genetic studies, noted archaeologists Dennis J. Stanford and Bruce A. Bradley challenge the old narrative and, in the process, counter traditional—and often subjective—approaches to archaeological testing for historical relatedness. The authors apply rigorous scholarship to a hypothesis that places the technological antecedents of Clovis in Europe and posits that the first Americans crossed the Atlantic by boat and arrived earlier than previously thought. Supplying archaeological and oceanographic evidence to support this assertion, the book dismantles the old paradigm while persuasively linking Clovis technology with the culture of the Solutrean people who occupied France and Spain more than 20,000 years ago.

Download or read book The Settlement of the American Continents written by C. Michael Barton and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2016-03-04 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When many scholars are asked about early human settlement in the Americas, they might point to a handful of archaeological sites as evidence. Yet the process was not a simple one, and today there is no consistent argument favoring a particular scenario for the peopling of the New World. This book approaches the human settlement of the Americas from a biogeographical perspective in order to provide a better understanding of the mechanisms and consequences of this unique event. It considers many of the questions that continue to surround the peopling of the Western Hemisphere, focusing not on sites, dates, and artifacts but rather on theories and models that attempt to explain how the colonization occurred. Unlike other studies, this book draws on a wide range of disciplines—archaeology, human genetics and osteology, linguistics, ethnology, and ecology—to present the big picture of this migration. Its wide-ranging content considers who the Pleistocene settlers were and where they came from, their likely routes of migration, and the ecological role of these pioneers and the consequences of colonization. Comprehensive in both geographic and topical coverage, the contributions include an explanation of how the first inhabitants could have spread across North America within several centuries, the most comprehensive review of new mitochondrial DNA and Y-chromosome data relating to the colonization, and a critique of recent linguistic theories. Although the authors lean toward a conservative rather than an extreme chronology, this volume goes beyond the simplistic emphasis on dating that has dominated the debate so far to a concern with late Pleistocene forager adaptations and how foragers may have coped with a wide range of environmental and ecological factors. It offers researchers in this exciting field the most complete summary of current knowledge and provides non-specialists and general readers with new answers to the questions surrounding the origins of the first Americans.
