Craig Childs embarks on a remarkable journey tracing the footsteps of the first humans to enter the Americas during the last Ice Age. Combining cutting-edge archaeological research with his own intrepid expeditions across Alaska, the Pacific coast, and deep into the continental interior, he reconstructs the epic migration that transformed an entire hemisphere.
This is adventure archaeology at its finest—part scientific investigation, part wilderness travel narrative. Childs brings a naturalist's eye and a storyteller's gift to the greatest detective story in human prehistory, piecing together clues from stone tools, ancient campsites, and the landscape itself. The result is a thrilling account that brings these forgotten pioneers vividly to life and illuminates the primal human urge to explore unknown lands.
