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.
