Title: Biased and already outdated
Product review: Professor Fagan has not used the latest research findings to modify his opinions and theories as presented in this revised edition, despite the golden opportunity to do so. He mentions them but has not adapted his thinking to them. He remains married to the Clovis-First Theory, despite the near-avalanche of data that has been accumulating that suggests far different models fit the data much better.If you want book format layman-friendly summaries of the latest (as of mid-2009), read:-- The First Americans: The Pleistocene Colonization of the New World, ed. N G Jablonski (2002)-- Paleoamerican Origins: Moving Beyond Clovis, ed. R Bonnichsen (2005)Each of these is a collection of essays written by the most important researchers in the field today.Don't waste your money on the Fagan book.
