Human footprints found off Canada's Pacific coast show people were living there 13,000 years ago at the end of the most recent Ice Age, scientists have found. The footprints, which are the only ones ever found from this time around Canada's Pacific coast, belong to at least three different individuals. The incredible prints could have captured the moment these individuals disembarked from their boat for the first time before moving to drier areas. Digital photographic studies have revealed that the footprints probably belonged to two adults and a child, all barefoot.

Typical Daily Mail in that the article is really weak on explaining the science behind these footprints still being there and how they were dated.
In addition to people coming down the coast from the Bering land bridge, it seems likely to me that they also came to South / Central America directly from the Pacific. People crossed the Pacific and populated the Polynesian islands, which are tiny dots in a vast ocean, so it stands to reason that some missed the islands and hit the America’s.
If you go back to 13,000 years ago....seas were around 300 feet less than what they are today. It wouldn’t have been that hard to cross from Asia across Alaska.
This makes a lot of sense. Lots of fish and seals on the coast, while you work your way down to warmer areas.
Earliest ever found in North America... Regardless... Pretty old.
Yes but were they going north or south ?
“If you go back to 13,000 years ago....seas were around 300 feet less than what they are today. It wouldn’t have been that hard to cross from Asia across Alaska.”
Any idea what man was doing back then to cause the seas to rise? Regardless, musta been some Al Gore type back then that stopped it and saved us all. Probably got rich off of buffalo turd credits.
Good God...what a stupid comment..."all barefoot".
At some point, around 10,000 years ago...an ice age was underway, and centered mostly over all of Canada and about one-third of the US. If you were at Chicago at that point....roughly two miles of ice was over the top of you. There are differing debates over how that ice age started.
But the ice age tended to end abruptly, and this leads onto a discussion that some meteor break-up action occurred, and a heck of action occurred in this North America area, that triggered a massive ice melt. This isn’t a month or year kind of thing....we are talking about in the course of maybe one single day of having oceans rise by a hundred feet.
So you had three basic ‘bad’ things occur in this timeframe. The ice-water run-off ran into the Pacific and Atlantic, which triggered the Gulf Stream to radically change. Second thing was the soot and ash that went into the atmosphere....which led to several hundred years of longer winters/shorter summers for most of the Earth. And then you had entire civilizations which existed along coasts which were wiped out by the higher water levels.

This supports theories that migrants from Asia hugged the coasts traveling down the Pacific Coast.

Great, but were they African-American footprints? I mean, it is THE ‘starting point’ of human civilization, so I’m told.

they were made 13,000 years ago or could have been made last week. We still are too sure just yet but the 13,000 year tag will get a lot more attention and drive the narrative.
