Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
'In a handsome companion volume to her HOMINIDS, Sattler chronicles the arrival of humankind to North America . . . The author presents theories on migration patterns, dates, and technological developments, indicating whether they are widely accepted or hotly debated. This scholarly whole is accompanied by several maps, an index, and a time line of contemporary cultures and developments in the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa. There is also an extremely detailed 14-page bibliography listed chapter by chapter.'

I believed that this book was very factual and informational. I thought that the author was a little repetative in some of the points she tried to make, but for the most part it was a good source and it would be an excellent guide for school projects and essays. There were a lot of descriptive and entertaining illistrations that you could refer to to understand the text better. Overall, this book was worth the time to read it.

For those who believe in Creation Science, this book makes some disturbing statements. The book states that the very first settlers in the Americas could have arrived 100,000 years ago, and that Neanderthals were a culturally advanced "subgroup" of Homosapiens that possibly intermixed with "modern" Homosapiens. While much of the information is interesting and is substantiated by artifacts, there is also some conjecture. Although children can learn much about the Indians of the Americas by reading this book, I believe parents who believe in Creation Science should read the book first, then use discretion and guidance with their children.
