520    "Who were the first humans to inhabit North America? 
       According to the now familiar story, mammal hunters 
       entered the continent some 12,000 years ago via a land 
       bridge that spanned the Bering Sea. The presence of these 
       early New World people was established by distinctive 
       stone tools belonging to the Clovis culture. But are the 
       Clovis tools Asian in origin? Drawing from original 
       archaeological analysis, paleoclimatic research, and 
       genetic studies, noted archaeologists Dennis J. Stanford 
       and Bruce A. Bradley challenge the old narrative. They 
       counter traditional -- and often subjective -- approaches 
       to archaeological testing for historical relatedness by 
       applying rigorous scholarship to a hypothesis that places 
       the technological antecedents of Clovis in Europe and 
       posits that the first Americans crossed the Atlantic by 
       boat and arrived earlier than previously thought. 
       Presenting archaeological and oceanographic evidence to 
       support this assertion, the book dismantles the old 
       paradigm while persuasively linking Clovis technology with
       the culture of Solutrean people who occupied France and 
       Spain more than 20,000 years ago."-- Book jacket.
