EARLY MAN IN THE NEW WORLD
_A Doubleday Anchor Book_
95 line drawings
Cover design by Sydney Butchkes
Cover drawing by Richard Erdoes
This eminently readable and authoritative book on the Stone Age American
has been extensively revised and updated for this new edition. Early Man
in the New World examines and assesses the prevailing theories on the
appearance of man in America during the late Ice Age, and his
relationship to the present-day American Indian. With ninety-five line
drawings depicting the different stone-flaking techniques, illustrating
various migration routes, and locating fossil sites, this is an
incomparable guide to a continuing archaeological quest. “An admirable
introduction,” wrote Harry L. Shapiro in The Saturday Review; The New
York Times called it “excellent and provocative.”
KENNETH MACGOWAN is an outstanding amateur archaeologist with a special
talent for clarifying the complex mass of evidence and the conflicting
theories on the existence of prehistoric man in America. His vocation
has been producing plays on Broadway and motion pictures in Hollywood.
He is professor emeritus of theater arts at U.C.L.A., and the author of
several books.
JOSEPH A. HESTER, JR., Mr. Macgowan’s collaborator on this revised
edition, is an associate professor of anthropology at San Jose State
College. Dr. Hester is a member of the Society for American Archaeology
and a fellow of the American Anthropological Association.
The foreword to this edition is by Gordon Ekholm, Curator of Mexican
Archaeology, Department of Anthropology, American Museum of Natural
History.
Though best known for his distinguished career in the theater and motion
pictures, Kenneth Macgowan has won the respect of professional
archaeologists and anthropologists for his special talent in explaining
to fellow amateurs the search for prehistoric man in North and South
America. First published in 1950, Early Man in the New World has now
been extensively revised to include the wealth of new finds in the last
decade.
Mr. Macgowan made his reputation first as a dramatic critic for such
publications as _Vogue_ and _Theatre Arts_, then as a Broadway and
Hollywood producer. Since 1947 he has been professor of theater arts at
U.C.L.A.
Joseph A. Hester, Jr., is associate professor of anthropology at San
Jose State College. He has taught at Occidental College, Stanford
University, and at U.C.L.A. He received his A.B. degree in 1949 and his
Ph.D. degree in 1954 from U.C.L.A., both in anthropology. From 1952 to
1954, Dr. Hester held a fellowship in archaeology with the Carnegie
Institution of Washington, and later in 1955-56, a post-doctoral
fellowship with the National Science Foundation. He is a member of the
Society for American Archaeology and a fellow of the American
Anthropological Association.
