    Humans may have settled North America much earlier than believed

    Humans may have settled North America much earlier than believed

    The history of the people of America, a story that dates back to the last ice age, has been upended by the battered bones of a mastodon found under a freeway construction site in California.

    Archaeological sites in North America have led most researchers to believe that the continent was first reached by humans like us, Homo sapiens, about 15,000 years ago. But inspection of the broken mastodon bones, and large stones lying with them, point to a radical new date for the arrival of ancient humans. If the claim stands up, humans arrived in the New World 130,000 years ago.


    Thomas Deméré, curator of palaeontology at the San Diego Natural History Museum which led the project, said: “Of course extraordinary claims like this require extraordinary evidence,” adding that the team believed “the site preserves such evidence”. Anticipating the disbelief of many experts in the field, Steven Holen, another project scientist at the Center for Paleolithic Research, said: “I know people will be sceptical about this.” That caution was summed up by one scientist who preferred not to be named: “They are going to face a $#@!storm,” he said.

    That is interesting, the more we learn, the more we realize, how many holes exist in our understanding.

    Of course establishment science has an agenda to denie this, it invalidates most prior gospel.

    Scientist (mainstream) have no more of an open mind than a hard partisan.

    The initial evidence here seems compelling.

    How much more fascinating can it get? Forensic Paleontology.

    I have no doubt that the desertification of the planet combined with the polar ice sheets that accompanied every ice age resulted in human migration to more acceptable climates. People needed to eat.

    Sounds extremely likely, most other animals migrate.

    Deserts haven't gotten in my way in this respect so far.

    Pretty amazing stuff.

    The proposed "land bridge" in the Pacific is fascinating.

    It brings to mind Francis Bacon's story, "The New Atlantis." That's always been assumed to be a political treatise in novel form, but what if it wasn't?

    This is interesting but hardly conclusive, but that doesn't stop many people from taking this absolute fact, to support their own agenda's. When they find multiple sites along with the bones of those humans who supposedly did it, then they have a case. The title stays "Humans may have settled North America much earlier than believed." It is equally true they may "Not have".

    I have not looked back- but when in history has their been the "land bridge" between North American and Asia? That was one of the big sells for the 15,000 figure.

    The article agrees.
