Everyone knows the Tyrannosaurus rex. Everyone has seen the Triceratops on a museum poster. Dinosaurs have dominated our collective prehistoric imagination for so long that it’s easy to forget they weren’t the only extraordinary, terrifying, or jaw-dropping creatures evolution ever produced.

Imagine walking across a continent that no human being had ever touched. No roads, no trails, no ruins to follow – just raw wilderness stretching to the horizon. That was the world that the first peoples of the Americas entered, and they did it tens of thousands of years before anyone thought possible. The story ...
