Origin : a genetic history of the Americas / Jennifer Raff.
20,000 years ago, people crossed a great land bridge from Siberia into Western Alaska and then dispersed southward into what is now called the Americas. No written records--and scant archaeological evidence--exist to tell us what happened or how it took place. This is the story of who the first peoples in the Americas were, how and why they made the crossing, how they dispersed south, and how they lived, based on a new and powerful kind of evidence: their complete genomes.
