人类最初占领美洲的时间和模式是考古学和生物人类学中讨论最多的话题之一，在过去的几十年中发表了数百篇文章致力于这个话题（一些全面的评论，见参考文献1-3）。研究人员通过广泛的学科，方法和理论方法，从传统的考古学和生物考古学方法，到气候模拟和古代DNA分析，为辩论做出了贡献。然而，尽管最近在研究生物变异和史前人口向美洲和美洲内部的扩张方面取得了进展，但对于包括人类在各大洲扩散的时间和模式在内的关键问题仍然没有达成共识。这就提出了一个关键问题：为什么我们无法就美洲最初定居点背后的进程达成共识？当然，有多种因素导致我们无法对这一主题作出可靠的解释。其中一些是所有重建和研究地球上过去人类社会的努力所共有的，而另一些则是美洲研究史上所独有的。因此，通过新的发现和新的方法创新（例如，参见新墨西哥州早期足迹的最新发现4），通过对数十年研究积累的放射性碳数据的重新分析，5或由于可用数据的新理论框架（参见参考文献6），对当前模型和假设进行重大重新评估并不罕见。虽然这些对美洲早期居民起源的不断重新评估与这一过程的各个方面（例如，年表，文化多样性，适应和生物多样性）有关，但在这里，我们专注于最近关于美洲原住民生物多样性起源的讨论，这本身就是大量多产文献的焦点。
The timing and mode (s) of the initial human occupation of the Americas are among the most discussed topics in archaeology and biological anthropology, with hundreds of articles published in the last decades dedicated to the topic (for some comprehensive reviews, see References 1–3). Researchers have contributed to the debates through a vast range of disciplines, methodological and theoretical approaches, ranging from traditional archeological and bioarchaeological methods, to climate simulations and ancient DNA analyses. And yet, despite recent advances in the study of the biological variation and prehistoric expansions of populations into and within the Americas, there is still little consensus about key questions including the time and modes of human dispersion across the continents. This brings up a crucial question: why are we unable to find a consensus about the processes behind the initial settlements of the Americas?There are certainly multiple factors contributing to our inability to build reliable interpretations on this topic. Some of them are common to all endeavors to reconstruct and study past human societies across the planet, and some are unique to the history of research in the Americas. As a result, it is not uncommon to find significant reevaluations of current models and hypotheses, either through new findings and new methodological innovations (see, eg, the most recent findings of early footprints in New Mexico4), by the reanalysis of radiocarbon data accumulated over decades of research, 5 or due to new theoretical framings of available data (see Reference 6 as a good example). While these constant reevaluations of the origins of early inhabitants of the Americas are related to all aspects of this process (eg, chronology, cultural diversity, adaptation, and biological diversity), here we focus on recent discussions about the origins of Native American biological diversity, which by itself has been the focus of a vast and prolific literature.
