Synopsis

Discover how the first Americans arrived in the New World and what modern science has revealed about their journeys.

This is an edited collection based on the Fourth Wattis Symposium in anthropology. It brings together leading researchers to present current ideas about the peopling of the Americas. The chapters cover a range of evidence—from archaeology and anatomy to genetics and language—to explore how and when people first reached the North and South American continents.

• Environmental settings and migration routes from Beringia and beyond
• How anatomically modern humans may have moved across Arctic and coastal landscapes
• Bioarchaeological evidence for early populations, diets, and lifeways
• Genetics, including mitochondrial perspectives, and what they reveal about ancestry

Ideal for readers interested in archaeology, human migration, and the origins of the First Americans, this edition makes a complex topic accessible through multiple expert viewpoints.
I, a 8–10 level description: The First Americans, Vol. 27 presents a comprehensive view of early American colonization, balancing scientific debate with up-to-date research. It is suitable for students, educators, and general readers curious about how population movements shaped the Americas.
