You are correct, the Clovis people were not a people, but rather a technology that was used by early American Indians. Further, these were not the first American Indians in the Americas. The old Clovis-First theory is dead. There is plenty of genetic evidence to support an earlier peopling of the Americas, and finally sites such as Cactus Hill and especially Gault in Texas bring archaeological evidence. For info on the genetic end I recommend my book American Indian mtDNA, Y Chromosome Genetic Data, and the Peopling of North America.

Welcome to FR.

This book was published in 2002. Why aren't there any book reviews at Amazon?
