Archaeologist Dr. Astolfo Araujo, leading expert in South American Paleoindian archaeology, describes the baffling prehistory of ancient Brazil and presents evidence humans roamed South America more than 18,000 years ago.

Focusing on ancient Brazil and eastern South America, Dr. Araujo examines Paleoindian sites, Pleistocene archaeology, early hunter-gatherers, pre-Clovis lithic technology, geoarchaeology, and early human migration. This episode explores South American prehistory, stone tools, settlement patterns, and the debate over when the first humans reached the New World.
