Description
Columbus is credited for discovering the New World, but in reality, the New World was settled many millennia before by settlers from North East Asia. This lecture will examine the Clovis-first settlement of the New World featuring a three-migration hypothesis —The Paleo-Indians from the Lena River, The Athabaskans from Dyuktai, and the Eskimo-Aleuts from Hokkaido. Three lines of evidence will be used to support the hypothesis — Dental Anthropology, linguistics, and genetics. A discussion of Pre-Clovis hypotheses will also be included for contrast and comparison.
