e Search for the First Americans Science, Power, Politics • Robert V. Davis Jr. : Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data Names: Davis, Robert V., 1947– author. Title: The search for the first Americans : science, power and politics / Robert V. Davis, Jr.. Description: Norman : University of Oklahoma Press, [2021] | Includes bibliographical references. | Summary: “Case study of the practice of science in its search for the First Americans and examines: (1) the conflicts between the methods of science and the traditional beliefs of modern Native Americans; (2) the power struggles for primacy of place internal to the sciences themselves; and (3) the interactions with external authorities such as government agencies, the press, universities, and museums. It examines how First American issues have been defined and how differences in cultural myths, scientific theories, research methodologies and public policy remain unsettled in modern America. It also investigates the blurred boundaries between science and myth as well as between fact and theory that ultimately weaken the credibility of science as a cultural mechanism for interpreting the natural world”— Provided by publisher.

As a young boy growing up in Oklahoma, I was fascinated by searching for arrowheads during camping trips and even enjoyed an occasional visit in Tulsa to the omas Gilcrease In- stitute of American History and Art, which houses one of the most extensive collections of American Indian artwork and artifacts in the world. I studied the symbolism in the Oklahoma state ag and the stories of the ve “civilized” tribes. I uncritically accepted what I learned as the truth. However, as adults, even among people of goodwill, an agreed-upon truth can be elusive and may well be dependent on where and how we situate our conceptual lives. As Mark Twain reportedly warned, what gets us into trouble is not what we don't know, but rather what we think we know that just isn’t so. e simple fascinations of our youth can lead later to complex intellectual journeys that disabuse us of some things that we thought we knew for sure. For me, this book has been just such an undertaking. In many ways it is a manifestation of the contradictions in American society between accepting the practical usefulness of science when it is in conict with important cultural values. e scientic search for the First Americans is, at a conceptual level, simple. As James Adovasio asked, “who the hell are these people, where did they come from, and when did they get here?” Although much has been documented, sci- ence is no closer today to nding an answer than at any time since the arrival of Columbus. In short, it has been a failed endeavor. Archaeology and anthropol- ogy, which are the intellectual domains most central to the search for the First Americans have, unfortunately, been caught ercely protecting conclusions that are now known to be erroneous. Science has many strengths and is a critical com- ponent of the material progress that humans have enjoyed. But, at times, it can treat an explanatory theory with the same concreteness that should be reserved only for a material fact. American Indians were present in the Western Hemisphere thousands of years before Columbus, or the Vikings, or the Phoenicians, or the ancient Chi- nese, or whomever has occasionally been put forward as the rst to colonize the ix x Preface New World. ese indigenous tribes each have a creation story as to how they came to be. ey do not tell stories of having wandered aimlessly over the Bering Strait during the last ice age. e diculty for science is, understandably, valu- ing these beliefs when they are inherently contradictory and also conict with clearly documentable ndings of genetics and physics. Moreover, modern Amer- ican Indians believe they are the direct descendants of the very rst Americans and seem unwilling to concede that their ancestors might be later arrivals. is is clearly in conict with the modern US psyche, which believes it must surely have been the destiny of everyone who ever came to this land to want to become an American. e conicting positions taken by First American scientists and modern American Indians have created an interstitial ontological void that has resulted in the power of the US political system being used to determine primacy of in- tellectual place. is examination of the search for the First Americans is a case study in the complex relationships between the biological ndings of science and the social importance of cultural beliefs; the oen fractious relationships across the sciences; the power of the US political process to dictate constraints on how science is conducted as well as how ancient human remains are to be disposed; and the hegemonic and oen racist assumptions that are frequently embedded in how science has been conducted. I must acknowledge the contributions of several others. I would like to thank the anonymous reviewers for their comments; Skip Furhman, Peter Schmitthen- ner, Ann Laberge, and Matthew Goodrum for their guidance on an earlier ver- sion; and Alessandra Tamulevich and Ihsan Taylor for their guidance through the publishing process. While it is dicult, if not impossible, to operate completely external to one’s system of values, it is my hope that I have fairly captured both the strengths and weaknesses represented in the positions taken by American Indians as well as First American scientists. Introduction cultural past is a reection of unstabilized power relationships in the present. is is a case study of the S practice of science in this unstable environment as it has been employed in the search for the First Americans. It is not an attempt to determine the validity of any specic theory or material artifact; rather, it is an investigation into the practice of science as it relates to a search to explain a particular human exis- tence. It is concerned with how personal, organizational, and cultural power has been manifested through scientic concepts, government policy, Ameri- can Indian tribes, the public, and the scientists themselves in the search for the First Americans. It is an examination into how the issues have been constructed and, nally, the manner in which (as well as the degree to which) di erences in cultural myths, scientic theories, research methodologies, and public policy remain unsettled in modern America. As this examination of the search for the First Americans shows, perceptions of the past can be as unstable as any projec- tions of the future. Compounding the challenges faced by scientists, modern American Indians have used the US political system to gain a voice in dening the history of America’s indigenous peoples. As a direct result, in the US Congress passed the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) requiring that American Indian folklore and oral traditions be granted equal epistemological status with science in regard

Around 2000, deserts across the country MAAYAN HAREL MAAYAN were expanding by 10,400 square kilometres a year, says the government. But in 2017, it reported that China’s deserts were shrinking by more than 2,400 square kilometres a year. A 2018 study1 of satellite data from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration found that forest cover has increased in line with government statistics, but suggested that changes in logging policy were more important than afforestation — planting forests where none were before. In 1999, the Chinese government began planting millions of trees in its Grain for Green Program, intended to repair dam- aged farmland in the northern Loess Plateau, which is roughly the size of France. And the afforestation drive is continuing apace: in 2018, the government announced a target of 30% forest coverage by 2050. At the moment, the coverage is around 22%. It’s still too early to determine whether it has solved the problem, says Congbin Fu, director of the Institute for Climate and Global Change Research at Nanjing University.

The ancestors of todayʼs Kumeyaay may have come down the coast from the shrinking Bering land bridge. Ancestors who spoke the ancient Hokan language may have come from the east, overland from the receding waters of the Great Basin. These early people (Californiaʼs first migrants) were called the “Scraper-Makers” by the pioneering archaeologist Malcolm Rogers in the 1920s.1 The name came from the stone tools that Rogers discovered at many sites in San Diego County, from the San Dieguito River in the north to the Otay River in the south. Rogers described their culture as the “San Dieguito pattern” based on his research at the Harris site near Lake Hodges on the San Dieguito River. This same cultural pattern and stone tools have been found at the Remington Hills site in western Otay Mesa.

EVOLUTION OF THE ‘HOMO’ GENUS NEW MYSTERIES AND PERSPECTIVES JORDI AGUSTÍ This work reviews the main questions surrounding the evolution of the genus Homo, such as its origin, the problem of variability in Homo erectus and the impact of palaeogenomics. A consensus has not yet been reached regarding which Australopithecus candidate gave rise to the first representatives assignable to Homo and this discussion even affects the recognition of the H. habilis and H. rudolfensis species. Regarding the variability of the first palaeodemes assigned to Homo, the discovery of the Dmanisi site in Georgia called into question some of the criteria used until now to distinguish between species like H. erectus or H. ergaster. Finally, the emergence of palaeogenomics has provided evidence that the flow of genetic material between old hominin populations was wider than expected.

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The human EDAR 370V/A polymorphism afects tooth root morphology potentially through the modifcation of a reaction–difusion system Keiichi Kataoka1,2, Hironori Fujita3,4,5, Mutsumi Isa1, Shimpei Gotoh1,2, Akira Arasaki2, Hajime Ishida1 & Ryosuke Kimura1* Morphological variations in human teeth have long been recognized and, in particular, the spatial and temporal distribution of two patterns of dental features in Asia, i.e., Sinodonty and Sundadonty, have contributed to our understanding of the human migration history. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying such dental variations have not yet been completely elucidated. Recent studies have clarifed that a nonsynonymous variant in the ectodysplasin A receptor gene (EDAR 370V/A; rs3827760) contributes to crown traits related to Sinodonty. In this study, we examined the association between the EDAR polymorphism and tooth root traits by using computed tomography images and identifed that the efects of the EDAR variant on the number and shape of roots difered depending on the tooth type. In addition, to better understand tooth root morphogenesis, a computational analysis for patterns of tooth roots was performed, assuming a reaction–difusion system. The computational study suggested that the complicated efects of the EDAR polymorphism could be explained when it is considered that EDAR modifes the syntheses of multiple related molecules working in the reaction–difusion dynamics. In this study, we shed light on the molecular mechanisms of tooth root morphogenesis, which are less understood in comparison to those of tooth crown morphogenesis. Morphological variations in human teeth have been well studied in the feld of dental anthropology 1,2.
