My research into ancient stone architectural ruins and construction methods is revealing that the first humans may have arrived in Chile by sea, and then migrated northward along the spine of the Americas.

I wrote about this recently in an article titled, “First Americans probably did not come from Siberia.” This path could add as much as 6,500-12,000 years to the known record of humans in the Americas. This research project funds the first phase of fieldwork to support my theory.
