Abstract

ABSTRACT Over the past few decades several genetic models have been published to explain the peopling of the Americas. Most of these models have not been fully reconciled with prior ones and with local and regional archaeological records. The implications of this and other concerns are discussed and solutions offered to better coordinate the joint approach of the two disciplines in the study of First Peoples and in archaeology and genetics in general.

第一民族遗传与考古研究协调述评

在过去的几十年里，已经发表了几种遗传模型来解释美洲的人类定居。这些模型大多与先前的模型以及当地和区域的考古记录不完全一致。讨论了这一问题和其他问题的影响，并提出了解决办法，以便更好地协调这两个学科在第一民族研究以及考古学和遗传学方面的联合方法。

期刊介绍： PaleoAmerica disseminates new research results and ideas about early human dispersal and migrations, with a particular focus on the Americas. It fosters an interdisciplinary dialog between archaeologists, geneticists and other scientists investigating the dispersal of modern humans during the late Pleistocene. The journal has three goals: First and foremost, the journal is a vehicle for the presentation of new research results. Second, it includes editorials on special topics written by leaders in the field. Third, the journal solicits essays covering current debates in the field, the state of research in relevant disciplines, and summaries of new research findings in a particular region, for example Beringia, the Eastern Seaboard or the Southern Cone of South America. Although the journal’s focus is the peopling of the Americas, editorials and research essays also highlight the investigation of early human colonization of empty lands in other areas of the world. As techniques are developing so rapidly, work in other regions can be very relevant to the Americas, so the journal will publish research relating to other regions which has relevance to research on the Americas.
