Hrdlicka was convinced that 'a remarkably sensible opinion on the subject of the origin of the American Indians is met with as early as 1590, in the book of Padre Acosta, one of the best informed of the earlier authorities on America' (Hrdlicka 1935:2).
Such rejection led to the obstruction of scientific alternatives and to the ongoing disputes about the peopling of the Americas, which are symptomatic of the fact that vital questions concerning dates and places of origin are still being suppressed.
If it were not for the impact of Acosta's concept on many scientists, above all on Ales Hrdlicka, the idea of all First Americans 'walking' from Asia would not be defended so fiercely.
