Abstract
With archaeological dates of >30,000 supporting human
presence in the New World, there emerges the possibility
that ~ sapiens may not have been the first human occupant
in North America. The possibilities for Homo erectus as the
original candidate for peopling of the New-iOrld is explored
in this paper. Problems of chronological entry, routes of
entry, archaeological evidence, skeletal evidence, and
migration rates are discussed in this overview. Special
attention focuses on the early claims of >30,000 years B.P.
for man's presence in the New World.
