The Zuni Enigma Book Summary and Study Guide

Detailed plot synopsis reviews of The Zuni Enigma


Anthropologist Yaw Davis offers the intriguing theory that in about the late 13th century, Japanese immigrants crossed the Pacific, pressed into the American Southwest, and became the partial ancestors of the Zuni tribe. This novel idea is backed up by a variety of myth tales, ceramic art, folk practices, linguistics, and even blood allele and predisposition to genetically-based diseases for evidence that, while not conclusive, is certainly compelling.
