Clovis

Evan Hadingham’s “America’s First Immigrants” and Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States both portray the Americas prior to the American Revolution as an odd and bewildering era. Hadingham and Zinn challenge the credibility of historical accuracy on natives of the time period, as they denounce the so-called truths people believe everyday about the topic. They address ideas by looking into different perspectives during the discovery of the Americas and analyzing different bits of…

There is a consistent debate on whether humans came to the New World through the coastal route or the continental route. For both sides there is an abundant amount of compelling evidence for one to come up with their own conclusion. There are a variety of arguments for where the migration came from like: Asia, Europe, or Beringia. The Asia argument asserts the first migrants came from Siberia, the Solutrean hypothesis argues that people came from Europe (Oppenheimer et al,. 2014). In Beringia…

article, “Discoveries Challenge Beliefs on Humans’ Arrival in the Americas,” shows that people have been living in the Americas many years before the Clovis. “Unearthed stone tools proving humans where in northeast Brazil as early as 22,000 years… 10,000 years before the Clovis hunters.” From our previews understanding, we had thought that Clovis humans which came from northeast Asia were the very first to settle in southeastern Brazil.

The first nations of the Americas arrived thousands of years ago and spread to all corners of the continents, but exactly how and when remains a matter of debate. Previously the Clovis were accepted to be the first culture to arrive in the Americas 13.5 kya (Goeble et al. 2008: 1497). The Clovis were characterised by quick migrations and the hunting of large game such as mammoth. This however, has been revised with the discovery of remains in both North and South America that pre-date 13.5…

1491 stresses that American Indians have been around for much longer and were much more numerous than originally thought, and they had highly advanced societies that ultimately met their downfall by diseases brought by Europeans. Theories such as the Clovis-first theory and research based on skeletal and tool findings has helped to establish that the New World was inhabited much earlier than society once thought. For centuries, many scholars turned to the “Lost Tribe” theory to reason where…
