This revolutionary archeological synthesis argues an alternative
model of the earliest human population of North America. E. James
Dixon dispels the stereotype of big-game hunters following mammoths
across the Bering Land Bridge and paints a vivid picture of marine
mammal hunters, fishers, and general foragers colonising the New
World. Applying contemporary scientific methods and drawing on new
archaeological discoveries, he advances evidence indicating that
humans first reached the Americas using water craft along the
deglaciated Northwest Coast about 13,500 years ago, some 2,000
years before the first Clovis hunters. Dixons rigorous evaluation
of the oldest North American archaeological sites and human remains
offers well-reasoned hypotheses about the physical characteristics,
lives, and relationships of the First Americans. His crisply
written analysis of scientific exploration is essential reading for
scholars, students, and general readers.
