"A truly magnificent achievement. <strong>American</strong> <strong>Genesis</strong> is possibly <strong>the</strong> most<br />
important book on pre-Columbian North America ever published because<br />
it ga<strong>the</strong>rs <strong>the</strong> most important studies in <strong>the</strong> field <strong>and</strong> makes sense out <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong>m to <strong>the</strong> reader's satisfaction. sweeping away <strong>the</strong> isolated scholarly<br />
pretensions which have barred us from underst<strong>and</strong>ing for decades ."<br />

"<strong>American</strong> <strong>Genesis</strong> excites. informs <strong>and</strong> satisfies whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> reader is<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essionally concerned with ancient banes <strong>and</strong> stones or simply has a<br />
curiosity abaut human origins on this continent. I would certainly like to<br />
see this book not only as recommended reading on early man in America<br />
but as required reading."<br />
- Ruth Beebe Hill . author <strong>of</strong> Hanta Yo<br />
"I have <strong>of</strong>ten come upon experts who. in <strong>the</strong> quiet <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> evening. confided<br />
<strong>the</strong> heretical notion that human genesis - or at <strong>the</strong> very least. human<br />
culture - began not in Europe or Africa but in <strong>the</strong> Americas <strong>and</strong> that <strong>the</strong><br />
migration occurred in reverse <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> conventional direction. Now Jeffrey<br />
Goodman confirms it. <strong>and</strong> it is fascinating to grapple with Goodman's<br />
ideas <strong>and</strong> evidence. And surely <strong>American</strong> <strong>Indian</strong>s - who always knew<br />
where <strong>the</strong>y began- will happily greet this new book:<br />

"I welcome Dr. Goodman's findings as fur<strong>the</strong>r evidence that archeology is<br />

prohibitions or preconceived 'impossibilities:"<br />
