Until recently, it was widely believed that humans first entered the Americas from Siberia around 13,000 years ago via the Bering landbridge, spreading throughout Central and South America over the following millennia. This consensus led to a lack of exploration into the Americas' role in human origins and civilization. However, recent scientific advancements and archaeological findings have revealed that humans inhabited the Americas for tens of thousands of years earlier than previously thought. Unexpected genetic links have emerged, connecting Native Americans with Australian Aborigines and Western Europeans. This shift in understanding indicates that humans may have been present in the Americas for at least 50,000 years, prompting questions about what these 'lost Americans' were doing during the unexplored millennia when they were believed to be absent. The recent discoveries challenge scholars to reconsider what evidence may have been overlooked, particularly regarding the origins of civilization. This raises the intriguing possibility that significant insights into early human history could still be uncovered in North America, a region previously deemed unlikely to hold such revelations.

Less than 50,000 years ago, humanity lacked art, religion, and complex symbolism. Then, a remarkable transformation occurred, described by scientists as one of history's greatest mysteries, resulting in the emergence of skills and qualities we highly value today. In this exploration, the author investigates this pivotal moment and the influences that shaped the modern human mind. His journey spans from the breathtaking painted caves of prehistoric France, Spain, and Italy to secluded rock shelters in South Africa, revealing an extraordinary collection of Stone Age art. Along the way, he uncovers clues that lead him deep into the Amazon rainforest, where he experiences the potent hallucinogen Ayahuasca with indigenous shamans. Their artwork features supernatural beings resembling the animal-human hybrids found in ancient caves. Other hallucinogens, like mescaline, also evoke visions of these same entities. Researchers in consciousness studies are beginning to entertain the idea that such hallucinations might represent genuine perceptions of other dimensions. This raises intriguing questions: Were the supernatural beings depicted in ancient art the original teachers of humanity? Is human evolution a more purposeful and intelligent process than Darwin suggested, one that we are only beginning to comprehend?
