Description

When did the first peoples arrive in the New World? For decades, anthropologists believed that humans were unable to enter the Americas until the end of the last Ice Age. In this HD documentary, anthropologist Niobe Thompson opens a fascinating window onto new research overturning this longstanding theory. He works in cooperation with scientists who are studying everything from human coprolites to forgotten fossils to ancient DNA and revealing a much earlier human migration than was once thought possible. In addition, gorgeous re-creations of the world of ancient first peoples are brought to life with the help of modern ice people from Arctic Russia.
