Evidence Found On Early Man From Asia
Columbia University archaeologists in northeastern Alaska report new evidence supporting the theory that early humans first arrived in North America from Asia. Dr. Ralph Solecki notes the discovery of primitive tools from an ancient, archaeologically unknown area above the Brooks Range near the Arctic Ocean. The find suggests an unglaciated mountain route between the Bering Strait and Arctic regions. Work on Congo’s Inga dam is planned to start in 1961.
