The Bering Strait Theory:
Indian Country explores the theory that would not die
Dear Friend,
Much has been written, literally for centuries, on the origins of Natives in the Americas. Fierce verbal battles have been fought. Reputations have been made or ruined. And still there is no consensus on the date or even the embarkation point of the people who first populated this continent.
In this eye-opening book, The Bering Strait Theory, historian Alex Ewen (Purepecha) explores not only the ever-controversial Bering Strait Theory, but more importantly, the other theories, research, evidence and science that have evolved along with it, allowing the reader to draw his or her own conclusions.
Origins and Science of Indian Natives
No matter your view of the Bering Strait Theory, this book is a mandatory read. Complete with illustrations, maps and charts to further illustrate the story, it will change minds and stimulate heated debate of the theory that would not die.
YES, I WANT THIS BOOK!
And readers certainly will, as the topic generates debate as heated today as it ever has been. Ewen meticulously breaks down the details of every theory proposed by historians (originally, of course, clergy), scientists and pseudo-scientists. The book painstakingly demonstrates the surprising way in which dogma became entrenched as fact, to the extent that even today belief in the Bering Strait Theory is the tail that "wags the dog" of science.
Even as diversity in linguistics and mitochondrial DNA seem to have blasted the theory’s timeline out of the water, with many more millennia required to reach this diversity than the theory allows, Ewen shows how existing theories based on an older science can color the way the new sciences, such as genetics, approach the topic.
No matter what your view of the Bering Strait Theory, this examination of the history of the theory is almost mandatory reading. Complete with illustrations, maps and charts to further illustrate the story, it will change minds, or, at the very least, stimulate still more heated debate of the theory that would not die.
