More evidence destroying “Clovis first” theory

Argentina
A 14,000-year-old camp site in Argentina is adding more evidence to a much earlier human migration into the Americas. A pre-“ice corridor” colonisation of the continent is more than apparent, as more and more sites are found in south America dating to many thousands of years before the Clovis culture of north America. Again we need to re-evaluate the story, as more evidence provides insight into a continent-wide migration, rather than a single route from Siberia. If the dates that are coming out of the archaeological strata are accepted, then we have to start looking at the idea that humans may have reached the Americas at least 20,000 years ago. I’ve been saying that for a long time now though 🙂
Here is the scientific paper for those nerds like myself! 🙂
