Description
This illuminating work explores the deep history of the first peoples of the Americas, drawing on genetics, archaeology, linguistics, and Indigenous knowledge to examine how—and when—humans arrived on the continent. It traces the scientific debates surrounding ancient migration while showing how new discoveries are reshaping long-held assumptions about ancestry, identity, and human origins. Alongside the evidence, the book confronts the ethical challenges of studying Indigenous ancestors and the harmful legacy of colonialism in archaeological and genetic research. Engaging and accessible, it offers a nuanced account of both the science and the people whose histories it seeks to understand.
