EARLIESTAMERICANS  \n100132ELENatural Science Museum of Cleveland答■  \n# The EarliestAmericans\n\nWritten and Illustrated byWILLIAM E.SCHEELEDIRECTOR,NATURAL SCIENCEMUSEUM OF CLEVELAND  \nWho were the earliest Americans?Theexact answer is still unknown,but littleby little scientists are uncovering theclues that will eventually lead us to thesolution of this fascinating puzzle.  \nThe first important clue was discoveredas recently as 1926 when fossil huntersfrom the Denver Museum,working in abone deposit near Folsom,New Mexico,found a flint spear point lying betweenthe ribs of a bison of a type that has beenextinct for at least 10,000 years.The as-tonishing thing was that the flint pointwas very skillfully made.Even thoughwe still do not know how the Folsomhunter looked,we learned from thatweapon that he was a highly developedcraftsman.  \nLater,the discovery of Sandia man,who lived in North America well over  \n20,000 years ago,added another clue.And another puzzle.Is it possible thatthis continent was inhabited by peoplewho may have crossed back and forthfrom Europe to North America via a landbridge between Asia and Alaska that ap-peared during the glacial periods?Somespecialists think so,but no one reallyknows,for all these men have to go byare a few distinctive flint points,somescraps of charcoal,and the teeth and rem-nants of bone from extinct animals.  \nYet the search continues,and each yearnew digs are opened and new artifactsdiscovered.The story of that search,related clearly and accurately here andfully illustrated by a knowledgeable au-thor who knows it intimately,is a dra-matic and suspenseful one.  \n0010-0014  \nSANTA ROSA MIDDLE S6HOMEDIA CENTERGELLS,AZ 85634  \n571Scheele,William ESchThe earliestC.2SANTA ROSA MDOLE
