But, Patron Saint of African evolution, L S B Leakey, said stone tools in the Americas were 125000 years old!
No one there believed him but no one challenged him either.
Leakey is considered wrong about the tools, and was disputed immediately, but he was on the right ground — he looked at what was known even at that time about the PreColumubian civilizations, which are all different, along with the many different languages and language families. It’s clear and obvious that the Americas have been colonized multiple times, and the population shifts due to climate and population booms have been numerous and of great antiquity.
