Western North America is home hundreds of native cultures and languages. Though often overlooked or clumped together, each of these cultures has a story and an origin. Atlas of Western Prehistory walks through 16,000 years of human habitation in North America, based on the latest insights from linguistics, archaeology, and genetics, along with oral traditions.
Recent genetic studies have confirmed and debunked many of the theories developed by linguistics and archaeologist decades ago. Genetics has isolated six different migrations into North Americas whose descendants are still found spread through modern Native American communities.
Over the millennia, different groups developed strategies that allowed them to expand across the continent. Other groups migrated long distances to escape changing climate or encroaching neighbors. All these movements left clues in the archaeology and were encoded in native languages.
Atlas of Western Prehistory contains over 100 original maps and illustrations that help illuminate the complex cultures and histories of Western North America.
