Thirteen-thousand years ago the first human culture to colonize
all of North America, in this case from Pacific to Atlantic
shores, was the Clovis culture of highly-proficient Siberian
hunters. While they may not have been the first humans in
America, the 1930s discovery of this “Clovisia the Beautiful”
launched a century-long debate about their role in a remarkable
series of extinctions – the loss of most of America’s
African-like megafauna – coinciding with their arrival. Are
Clovis and later Folsom cultures the American architects of the
early stages of today’s Sixth Extinction?
