First Peoples in a New World
Description
This compelling work explores how the first peoples reached and settled the Americas during the last Ice Age, reconstructing their journeys from archaeological, genetic, geological, and environmental evidence. It examines the challenges these early migrants faced as they adapted to unfamiliar landscapes, changing climates, and diverse ecosystems across two continents. With careful attention to competing theories and the limits of the evidence, the book illuminates the complexity, resilience, and ingenuity of the earliest American communities. Scholarly yet accessible, it offers a vivid account of one of human history’s most consequential migrations.
