Bones : Discovering the First Americans: In Bones, Elaine Dewar records the ferocious struggle in the scientific world to reshape our views of prehistory, and explores the ambiguous terrain left behind when a scientific paradigm is swept away. Travelling from the MacKenzie River valley in northern Canada to the arid plains of the Brazilian state of Piaui, Dewar traces the mad scramble for control of the New World's ancient bones. At stake are professional reputations, lucrative grants, vindication, national histories, even the reburial of wandering spirits. In the end, Bones brings us into the heart of the story of modern human origins.
