Lost World: Rewriting Prehistory -- How New Science Is Tracing America's Ice Age Mariners Book

This book will probably bore anyone who isn't interested in the archaeological, anthropological, geological, or paleontological evidence surrounding the prehistoric migration of the first people in North America. Those with an interest will be entertained.

The language is simple; the author presents a very vivid picture of the evidence supporting the possibility that prehistoric people migrated along the north-western coast of North America.

However, he doesn't mention the hypothesis that the first North Americans may have came from across the Atlantic. He doesn't discuss the significance of ancient artifacts (Clovis points) found in North America that correlate to artifacts found in the Pyrenees, along with cave art that clearly details the hunting of sea creatures. He doesn't mention that carbon dating on ancient sites in North America show that the earliest sites are in the north-east (& that scientific efforts to collect data on the north-eastern coast meet many of the same problems that researchers have on the north-western coast).

I'm not saying that I adhere to one (Pacific migration) or the other (Atlantic migration) hypothesis - I think it's very likely that both are accurate. But the author's failure to discuss the other hypothesis disappoints me.
