INSTITUTO DE LA PRE-HISTORIA DE AMERICA Welcome to the ERA of the ice! We are an an aid Association of the work of the INAH which focuses on the study of ancient humans in America and its impact on the environment. Since 1999 we have been developing an underwater archaeology project endorsed by the INAH that is focused on understanding; If so, when? How? and why where? the first human groups reached the American continent? When lle... garon to Yucatán? What were they like? That they survived? How were the ecosystems of then? Strangely the caves and cenotes of the Yucatan peninsula are providing fundamental tests to bring answers to these and other questions. Some of them as force as understanding the role that humans are playing in the climatic changes of the planet. The study of 9 underwater sites, 2 in Yucatan and 7 in Quintana Roo, over more than 10 years, have yielded the most comprehensive collection of the Pleistocene Terminal-Holoceno early human skeletons for Southeastern Mexico and the Americas. This period is known as the end of the was the ice age. Likewise, the remains of extinct mega fauna composed of camels, horses, elephants (Gonphoterios) and giant armadillos (Glyptodonts) allows us to infer that the current forest was 10,000 years ago an open and dry arid steppe. The results of our research are published in the best journals in the world as Human Evolution Nature or Current Research in the Pleistocene. For the majority of the seasons, we have been anchored by companies such as Discovery Channel, National Geographic, BBC London, Spiegel TV, and other companies from France, Japan, and Germany. Gladly we will send you some of these documentaries. These investigations did us receive the prestigious Rolex award, in the category of exploration and discovery. This project has been successful thanks to people, committed to the exploration, education, research and conservation.
