Prehistory of the Americas

A new article has been posted at the Bauu Insitute and Press website that discusses the question of whether Europeans ever migrated to the Americas before Colubmus’ modern discovery and colonization. Written by the Institute as an educational piece, the article argues that although Vikings and perhaps others accidentally found the Americas before 1492, none of these groups settled and had a long-term population in the Americas. Further, the article contends that the Solutrean hypothesis, arguing that Pleistocene age French people migrated to the Americas is unfounded.
