A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Who were the first Americans? Where did they come from, when did they get here, and how did they settle the Americas? Until three years ago, the Clovis” people were credited as the pioneers, arriving across the Bering land bridge at the end of the last Ice Age, no earlier than 12,000 B.C. Now that standard scientific account has been demolished.As the principal investigator since 1977 at Monte Verde, Chile, the most important site in overturning the old theories, Thomas Dillehay spent many years being dismissed for his insistence on the presence of impossibly” ancient human artifacts dating back 20,000 years. In the past few years he has been soundly vindicated, and in this book he presents a highly readable account of who the earliest settlers are likely to have been, where they may have landed, and how they dispersed across two continents.

Thomas D. Dillehay is Professor and Chairman of Anthropology at the University of Kentucky in Lexington. He is the author of the two-volume set Monte Verde: A Late Pleistocene Settlement, published by Smithsonian Institution Press in 1989 and 1996
