Steven Rinella, known for his hunting and outdoor adventures, takes a turn towards the historical this Tuesday on the History Channel. In “First Humans of North America,” Rinella explores the arrival and survival of the earliest inhabitants of the continent, applying his knowledge of the natural world to understand their incredible journey.
Drawing upon his experiences on Prince of Wales Island, a landscape known for its rugged terrain and abundant wildlife, Rinella examines how the first Americans might have traversed and thrived in this new environment. The episode looks to address questions about their migration routes, hunting techniques, and adaptations to a world vastly different from what they had known.
While the episode title might suggest a focus on hunting, the topic of early human migration has implications beyond the hunt. It touches on anthropology, archaeology, and the deep history of human settlement in the Americas.
“Hunting History with Steven Rinella: First Humans of North America” airs Tuesday, March 11th at 10:03 PM ET/PT on History.
