Challenging the Clovis First Theory
This chapter explores the Clovis First theory and the archaeological breakthroughs that challenge it, particularly through Tom Dillehay's work at Monte Verde, Chile. It touches on the intense debates within the scientific community, political tensions during Pinochet's dictatorship, and the personal risks faced by dissenting voices. Additionally, the chapter discusses the broader implications of recent discoveries linking ancient cultures and the evolving understanding of early human migration in the Americas.
