Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"As good as popular science writing gets." --The Wall Street Journal

"Powerful intrigue. Name-calling and blackballing. Treachery, collusion among archaeologists on an all-out hunt for a holy grail. An Indiana Jones movie? No. The actual search to identify the first humans to inhabit North America. . . . Adovasio, who became an internationally known archaeologist and academic, has created in The First Americans a book that pulses with plot-drive." --Los Angeles Times

"After a quarter-century of rebutting the challenges to his find, Mr. Adovasio has been transformed from a renegade into a leader in the field. Digs in North and South America have only buttressed his onetime pre-Clovis heresy, and Mr. Adovasio conveys a palpable excitement, in this anything-but-tedious archaeology book, at the possibilities of what might yet be discovered." --The Wall Street Journal

Reseña del editor:

A leading archaeologist addresses the complex puzzle about the origins of the first humans to settle in North America, reassessing common myths about early human migration and lifestyle, arguing that the first Americans most likely arrived by boat, and exploring questions about the role of women in early American society, the origins of Native Americans, and more. Reprint. 15,000 first printing.
