Seller's Description

In the Wake of the Jomon: Stone Age Mariners and a Voyage across the Pacific by Jon Turk. Published by International Marine/McGraw-Hill, Camden, ME, 2005. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardbound. Paper DJ. Size 8vo (up to 9-1/2'' tall). Condition: Nr Fine in VG DJ. 287 Pgs. ISBN 0071449027. LCCN 2005003142. The story of an extraordinary 3,000-mile journey from Asia to the Americas in pursuit of Stone Age wanderers. Could prehistoric humans have reached North America by crossing the Pacific in small open boats? An extraordinary archaeological find in 1996 suggested that they not only could have, but did. The author tells the incredible tale of his successful attempt to re-create what may have been the first great migration to the New World. Beyond the limits of science, through storm and hardship, he pursues an elemental insight into what motivated mankind's exodus from our African cradle to every corner of the globe.

Synopsis
In 1996, anthropologists were stunned by an extraordinary discovery near Kennewick, Washington. Skeletal remains found along the muddy banks of the Columbia River ~ and radio-carbon dated to between 9,300 and 9,600 years ago ~ were highly similar to those of the ancient Jomon people of northern Japan. Not only did this finding challenge conventional wisdom about the first Americans, it also raised a seemingly unanswerable question: Could prehistoric mariners have reached North America by crossing thousands of miles of the tempestuous North Pacific in small open boats? A few years later, set out to prove they could have.
