My Fun Game Result



My text comes from Jablonski N G (ed.) 2002: The First Americans: The Pleistocene Colonization of the New World (Memoirs of the California Academy of Sciences, 27), ISBN 0-940228-50-5.

There is a generally coherent group of findings on Beringian paeoenvironmental conditions, resources, hazards, and opportunities; Arctic steppe with patchy Beringian resources, but megafauna present (Guthrie 1990); mountain forest-steppe and steppe (Laukin 2000); and coastal maritime (Laughlin & Harper 1988). Finally, there is a small but challenging class of ideas concerned with learning why the colonization of northern Siberia and Beringia ever occurred in the first place, and why it seems from most archaeological evidence to have been so late in the Pleistocene history of human dispersal (Fagan 1990; Soffer 1990; Yesner 1998).

Each of these major and minor domains, be they based on diachronic or synchronic evaluations, or both, has been championed by workers using primarily a single line of evidence.

good book.
