A lot of science is what makes a good story," says [Joan Gero]. "We've created this Paleo-American to so closely fit what we think of ourselves that it doesn't die easily, and it's too convenient for words. ... This going where no one had gone before. Not 'getting along with,' not 'living among,' but 'boldly going and coming to dominate the continent.'
Adovasio, who's writing a book on gender and prehistory tentatively titled The Invisible Sex, says archaeologists need to get better at searching for new material and understanding what it means. He refers to a dig he's consulting on in Eastern Europe. "When you find woven fabrics 27,000 years ago in the Czech Republic, it's a big deal," he says, "because it fundamentally alters what we think they're doing. But if you're a stick, spear ...

In the realm of photography, Hudson's Carl Corey stands out (see sidebar) with large-format color photos of classic Wisconsin taverns.
