All,
Richard C. Sutter (from the Anthropology Program, Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne) offers, on his personal Website, a paper (downloadable, PDF – curiously, it is not to be cited without the permission of the author -- ???) that should be of interest to New World Palaeolitic aficionados.
Sutter, Richard C. (in press). The Prehistoric Peopling of South America as Inferred from Genetically Controlled Dental Traits. Andean Past 7. (Anticipated publication date: August 2003).CLICK HERE FOR DOWNLOADMind you, I only read the paper very quickly, but I think it is fair to say that it does (or will, when published) add a fresh dimension to the very simplistic (too neatly circular, from my point-of-view) hypothesis presented a few years ago by Greenberg & al. (1986). Also, for people interested in how the New World got to be “humanized”, in the course of the Final Pleistocene, the paper offers a very good (albeit, incomplete), and worth keeping, list of references. How the latter will be read and digested, is up to you.
