The Late Pleistocene Colonization of South America: An Interdisciplinary Perspective

ROTHHAMMER, F.; Dillehay, TD

Abstract

In this article, we briefly review scenarios for the first peopling of the New World, including the Clovis First/Single Origin, Tripartite, and Dual Migration models. We then discuss bioanthropological, molecular genetic, archaeological and biogeographic evidence for the peopling of the continent. To conclude, we draw on different lines of evidence to make inferences concerning the timing, direction, and type of early human dispersion in South America. © 2009 The Authors Journal compilation © 2009 Blackwell Publishing Ltd/University College London.
