Tom Dillehay is an American anthropologist who is the Rebecca Webb Wilson University Distinguished Professor of Anthropology, Religion, and Culture[1] and Professor of Anthropology at Vanderbilt University. While working at Universidad Austral de Chile he was involved in the excavations at Monte Verde in Chile where a human settlement was found. Dillehay claims that the remains are about 14,500 years old, challenging the Clovis theory of the first human arrival in the Americas.
