Early Humans of Ice Age America

<p>When did the first humans arrive in America? Archaeologists have long pushed the theory that human habitation in the Americas dates back only to about 10,000 years. But now there&#39;s overwhelming evidence that humans have been in the Americas for over 30,000 years. And perhaps much longer.</p> <p>Our guest today is Dr. Paulette Steeves, professor of geography, archeology, and land stewardship at Algoma University. She is also author of the books <em>The Indigenous Paleolithic of the Western Hemisphere, </em>and <em>Reclaiming Deep Human Histories of the Western Hemisphere: Archaeologists Who Braved Prejudice to Reveal the Evidence.</em></p> <p>Produced by Hannah Feodorov. Edited by Tim Arstall. Senior Producer was Freddy Chick.</p> <p>Sign up to History Hit for hundreds of hours of original documentaries, with a new release every week and ad-free podcasts.
