For those of you with PBS, they are airing a new program called "First Peoples" that starts tonight. http://www.pbs.org/first-peoples/home/ The first episode is about the first people in North America. It looks interesting!

Thank you for posting this 'heads up'. I'm taping it.
Thanks, Dawn. I watched the show last night and while I enjoyed it I found the accompanying music too dramatic and some of the explanations of geological and archaeological interpretations a bit vague and perhaps even questionable.
Hi Laurie,
I didn't watch it yet but your assessment seems to be the similar to other reviews that I've read. Even some of the people presenting on the show have commented on the music being too distracting. Dr. Killgrove from the University of West Florida offered this review for anyone who is interested: http://www.forbes.com/sites/kristinakillgrove/2015/06/24/review-first-peoples-series-chronicles-origins-and-spread-of-modern-humans/
