SP Pesquisa - A origem do Homem Americano - 2º bloco

The program presents new discoveries about the origins of the American man. How the human species arrived in the Americas is one of the mysteries science has yet to unravel. But Brazilian scientists have found increasing evidence that the occupation of the Americas was much more diverse than previously thought. Bioanthropologist Walter Neves shows fossils that confirm that the first inhabitants of South America belonged to the so-called Luzia People. São Paulo Pesquisa shows how scientists investigate the customs of our ancestors, and why the latest findings may change our understanding of pre-Columbian history.
