About the Book For decades, the accepted narrative held that the Americas were empty of human life until around 13,000 years ago. In America Before, Graham Hancock dismantles this timeline, presenting new scientific discoveries that push back human settlement of the continent to more than 130,000 years ago — long before humans are thought to have reached many other parts of the world. Travelling from the Mississippi Valley's mysterious earthworks to the depths of the Amazon rainforest, Hancock meets the archaeologists, geologists and researchers behind these breakthrough findings, weaving their evidence into a gripping narrative of detection and discovery.
