The first Americans : race, evolution, and the origin of Native Americans

Book

The first Americans : race, evolution, and the origin of Native Americans / Joseph F. Powell.

Powell, Joseph F. (Joseph Frederick), 1964- (Author).

Summary:

"Who were the first Americans? What is their relationship to living native peoples in the Americas? What do their remains tell us of the current concepts of racial variation, and short-term evolutionary change and adaptation. The First Americans explores these questions by using racial classifications and microevolutionary techniques to better understand who colonized the Americas and how. It will be required reading for all those interested in anthropology, and the history and archaeology of the earliest Americans."--Jacket.
