ANCIENT HUMANS IN AMERICA: WHY A DISCOVERY IN NEW MEXICO CHANGES EVERYTHING

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

16. I recall reading a very long time ago,

as in several decades ago, that researchers looking into people coming into this continent were discourage very strongly from looking at all past the Clovis level, given that it was established that supposedly there were no humans before that point. The piece I heard on NPR suggested very strongly that the claim was very strong that no one had gotten here before the accepted dates. Except, as this piece made very clear, there was a lot of evidence that humans had made their way onto this continent a very long way before the officially accepted dates.

Humans have been roaming around this planet since day one, meaning at the very beginning of our being homo sapiens.

A lot of our ancestral migration is currently unknown. But it's real. We are all descendants of that migration. Except, perhaps, those whose ancestors never left Africa, our collective and important ancestral homeland.
