Early Americans faced rapid late Pleistocene climate change and chaotic
environments
EurekAlert [AAAS], 19-Feb-2006
The environment encountered when the first people emigrated into the
New World was variable and ever-changing, according to a Penn State
geologist. "The New World was not a nice quiet place when humans
came," says Dr. Russell Graham, associate professor of geology and
director of the Earth & Mineral Sciences Museum. Archaeologists agree
that by 11,000 years ago, people were spread across North and South
America, but evidence is building for an earlier entry into the New
World, a date that would put human population of North and South
America firmly in the Pleistocene. "We want to know what it was like
back then," says Graham. "What did they have to deal with?"
