      abstract = {"Who were the first humans to inhabit North America?  According to the now familiar story, mammal hunters entered  the continent some 12,000 years ago via a land bridge that  spanned the Bering Sea. The presence of these early New  World people was established by distinctive stone tools  belonging to the Clovis culture. But are the Clovis tools  Asian in origin? Drawing from original archaeological  analysis, paleoclimatic research, and genetic studies,  noted archaeologists Dennis J. Stanford and Bruce A.  Bradley challenge the old narrative. They counter  traditional -- and often subjective -- approaches to  archaeological testing for historical relatedness by  applying rigorous scholarship to a hypothesis that places  the technological antecedents of Clovis in Europe and  posits that the first Americans crossed the Atlantic by  boat and arrived earlier than previously thought.  Presenting archaeological and oceanographic evidence to  support this assertion, the book dismantles the old  paradigm while persuasively linking Clovis technology with  the culture of Solutrean people who occupied France and  Spain more than 20,000 years ago."-- Book jacket.},
