Nova (TV Series) First Face of America (2018) User Reviews

Strong start, uninspiring ending

[Calicodreamin · 5/10 · 4 July 2019]

The beginning of the documentary is very interesting. Starting with the divers discovery of skeletal remains of both animals and a human in a cave in Mexico. From there the series turns more toward fitting this new discovery into the timeline of the first humans into the americas. And finally speculation as to how she ended up in the cave.

I felt the documentary starts off strong with the discovery and initial scientific diagnosis of the skeleton. But from there, the storyline branches off and leads to speculation and tangents.

Don't buy this.

This whole show seemed staged to me. The theories posited are totally misleading and fabricated. Either you have facts or you don't. I don't appreciate all the hyped drama. All that drama accomplishes is further discrediting modern academia's already stained record of making up crap and passing it off as fact. A skeleton was found. Some deductions of condition were made. That's it. That's all they've got. All the supposition as to what a girl, 13,000 years ago, did in her life and what events unfolded is so misleading that it should be a crime to be allowed.

It's a lie

Human activity has been found in the Americas dating back more then 50,000 years.. even recently they just my have found a 130,000 year old evidence of human activity in America.. this show has made me question PBS/Nova integrity to Science..
