Ons beeld van de prehistorie wordt grotendeels bepaald door illustraties en dioramas in musea waarop mannelijke jagers gehuld in dierenhuiden onverschrokken een mammoet aanvallen terwijl de vrouwen zich angstvallig achter een rots verschuilen. Recent onderzoek heeft echter aangetoond dat deze beelden weinig realistisch zijn. De afgelopen twintig jaar is de studie van de archeologie drastisch veranderd. Door de komst van meer vrouwelijke archeologen en de beschikking over nieuwe technieken werd de archeologische wereld uitgedaagd verder te kijken dan de bekende vuurstenen en speerpunten.

" Quando os primeiros humanos chegaram às Américas? E quem eram eles? Segundo J.M. Adovasio e Jake Page neste Os primeiros americanos, o melhor meio de responder corretamente a essas perguntas é começar do começo - com as primeiras noções de quem são os índios americanos e como chegaram aqui. Desde que aquelas três caravelas mal equipadas para o mar e manejadas por europeus cheios de preconceitos atracaram às margens de uma ilha caribenha, os povos nativos das Américas e sua história complexa têm confundido muitos americanos não nativos. A descoberta de uma ponta de lança em uma escavação no Novo México, em 1920, indicava a existência de poderosos caçadores, que teriam cruzado o estreito de Bering há mais de 10 mil anos, durante a Era do Gelo. Os Homens de Clóvis, como ficaram conhecidos, teriam sido um grupo único de indivíduos a partir do qual se iniciara o povoamento do continente americano. J. M. Adovasio tornou-se um contestador dessa vertente teórica tradicional quando o sítio que escavava na Pensilvânia revelou utensílios mais antigos que os do Homem de Clóvis. A descoberta o colocou no centro das discussões entre arqueólogos favoráveis à teoria de Clóvis e os que defendiam a existência de múltiplas inclusões pelo hemisfério feitas por grupos geneticamente distintos, revolucionando a história da própria arqueologia americana. Os primeiros americanos disseca crenças, teorias e questões científicas abordando vários aspectos dessa polêmica, além de contestar a primazia do Homem de Clóvis como o primeiro colono do hemisfério ocidental. Com base em suas pesquisas e investigações de campo, o arqueólogo J. M. Adovasio e o jornalista Jake Page tornam o assunto acessível a todos os interessados nas raízes de sua própria existência. "

Ce nouveau livre d''histoire sur les Indiens d''Amérique du Nord, tout en bénéficiant des meilleurs travaux antérieurs soumis ici à de nouvelles analyses, rapporte, des origines à nos jours, toutes les phases et tous les événements qui ont façonné au fil des siècles l''histoire de ces tribus. L''ouvrage couvre toutes les aires culturelles et géographiques et y replace chaque groupe qui s''y trouvait depuis l''origine afin de traiter son évolution et son devenir en interaction avec les autres groupes puis avec les Européens. L''un des intérêts de ce livre réside en ce que Jake Page a pu combiner, pour des amateurs avertis ou non comme pour des lecteurs plus exigeants, l''histoire totale de l''hémisphère nord américain indigène avec les données ethnologiques, anthropologiques et archéologiques qui lui sont liées. Si tous les autres ouvrages commencent il y a un peu plus de 500 ans, celui-ci trouve ses racines d''histoire organique il y a plus de 20 000 ans, soit juste après le Pléistocène qui vit les premiers groupes nomades passer d''un continent à l''autre sans qu''ils se rendent compte de l''existence d''un très large " pont " de glace entre les actuels Sibérie et Alaska, pour finir dans la première décennie du XXIe siècle. Les événements qui ont donné de grandes dates historiques sont ici détaillés, transportés dans le flot de l''histoire indienne avec ses migrations internes et les influences européennes. Le passage sur la French Connection concernant les plans culturels, politiques, linguistiques et économiques s''avère remarquable, et démontre bien la démarche impartiale et universelle de l''auteur. Les guerres et autres conflits sont mis en relief sans outrance et sans gêner l''ensemble qui concourt à une réflexion intelligente de la philosophie de l''histoire. L''utilisation de documents anciens et rares restés inédits et de documents modernes, pour ne pas dire de pointe, n''est pas pour rien dans l''aspect novateur de ce livre.
