Sinossi

Uncover the science behind humanity’s first Americans and how scholars build a clearer picture of the New World.

This volume presents the edited proceedings of The Fourth Wattis Symposium, held in San Francisco in 1999. It gathers expert chapters that draw on geology, archaeology, biology, and linguistics to explore where the first Americans came from, how they traveled, and what they left behind. While rooted in research, the book aims to make the evolving story accessible to a broad audience.

  • examines routes and timing of the initial peopling of the Americas
  • surveys geographic and environmental contexts, including Beringia
  • surveys cranial, dental, and genetic evidence for population relationships
  • discusses how climate, technology, and language fit into early migrations
Ideal for readers of anthropology, archaeology, and anyone curious about the origins of the first Americans.
