Human (Clovis)–gomphothere (Cuvieronius sp.) association ∼13,390 calibrated yBP in Sonora, Mexico
Guadalupe Sanchez,Vance T. Holliday,Edmund P. Gaines,Joaquín Arroyo-Cabrales,Natalia Martínez-Tagüeña,Andrew L. Kowler,Todd Lange,Gregory W. L. Hodgins,Susan M. Mentzer,Ismael Sánchez-Morales +9 more
TL;DR: Evidence from Sonora, Mexico, indicates that the earliest widespread and recognizable group of hunter-gatherers (“Clovis”) were in place ∼13,390 y ago in southwestern North America, supporting the hypothesis that Clovis had its origins well south of the gateways into the continent and expanding the make-up of the North American megafauna community just before extinction.
Journal ArticleDOI
The accumulation of stochastic copying errors causes drift in culturally transmitted technologies: Quantifying Clovis evolutionary dynamics
TL;DR: Eerkens et al. as discussed by the authors used the accumulated copying error model to predict negative drift in archaeological data due to the proportional nature of compounded copying errors (i.e., neutral mutations), and the multiplicative process of cultural transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI
Would North American Paleoindians have Noticed Younger Dryas Age Climate Changes
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of climate and environmental records from the Younger Dryas Chronozone in continental North America is presented, concluding that conditions during this interval may not have measurably added to the challenge faced by Paleoindian groups who successfully dispersed across diverse habitats of Late Glacial North America.
Journal ArticleDOI
Innovation and cultural transmission in the American Paleolithic: Phylogenetic analysis of eastern Paleoindian projectile-point classes
Michael J. O'Brien,Matthew T. Boulanger,Briggs Buchanan,Mark Collard,Mark Collard,R. Lee Lyman,John Darwent +6 more
TL;DR: Using phylogenetic analysis to evaluate fluted-point classes from the eastern United States, preliminary results suggest that there is both temporal and spatial patterning of some classes and that much of the variation in form has to do with modifications to hafting elements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Late Pleistocene exploration and settlement of the Americas by modern humans
TL;DR: Genetic studies have conclusively shown that the first Americans were the result of ancestral east Asian and northern Eurasian admixture, and these genetic results agree with the emerging late Pleistocene archaeological record.
