Notes

Abstract:
From a European perspective, the Americas have been seen as the ‘New World’. Later anthropological and archaeological investigations revealed that this moniker may be surprisingly apt. Modern humans, or at least their early forbears, had colonized most of the world by 40,000 years ago. Even Australia saw the arrival of its original human inhabitants 50,000 years ago. Evidence for the colonization of the Americas is placed much later, between about 15,000 and 13,000 years ago, although some of the earliest coastal sites have probably been lost to the rising seas at the end of the last glacial maximum.
