I think the book is absolutely fantastic. Dr. Michael Crawford is a genius. Revelational thinking, not only from a genetic perspective but cultural and archaeological as well, in reference to the human diaspora from africa, and the possibility of several pre-Clovis migrations.

Save your money ! This is the same old outdated theory with no real proof. Who is to say they did not migrate in the other direction ?! Truth is they dont known and a few genetic markers are not proof . There is proof of Native Americans being here much longer than this book would have you believe. Every few years some guy comes around with a new place of origin for the people . They quack the same tale without any real proof. By the same logic on could say that they migrated in the other direction and would have the same markers in the DNA . What we do know is that Native Americans were here in the USA much much longer than this old threoy would have you believe . The people who believe this still believe life first started in Africa with "Lucy" and her people . They now know she was not a true ancestor of the human race. A older skeleton was found that looks more human and is many thousands of years older. If you want to read about outdated ideas and how much people will buy into without real proof you may want this book . Otherwise save your cash if you want facts. Have a nice day .
