An exciting, always comprehensible treatment of the known facts of North American prehistory. The conjectures about pre-modern man, his migrations and adaptations, are based on fossils, bones and imprints, but the dating has been made more accurate through a new process of measuring the radioactivity given off by Carbon 14, which is found in organic substances only.

Dr. H. P. Mera published the results of his investigations in 1938 under the title, "Some Aspects of the Largo Cultural Phase, Northern New Mexico."
