The Soloutrean hypothesis explains the who the first arrivals in North America were. Anthropologists have long since discovered numerous Caucasoid skulls & skeletons which are much older than the first arrival of the Amerindians. The original inhabitants of Europe [ which only the Basques remain as the others were absorbed into the Indo Europeans who arrived later ] were also the original inhabitants of North America as well. This is a very interesting topic.

Almost 14,000 years later, there is no way to tell how many hits it took to bring the beast to the ground near the coast of present-day Washington state. Sigh. Academics.
It took only one stab with a spear to kill even a mastodon, and it involved a technique that was both reliable and relatively easy. When humans arrived, the animals had no concept for them as a threat. A hunter could simply walk right up, gut-stick it. Then just follow the meal until it drops. The animal would die of peritonitis in about three days. That is why so many carcasses are found near bogs. The animals would head to water to relieve the fever.
How do I know that? I learned it from Dr. Charles Kay, a researcher at Utah State and one hell of a big game hunter. He learned of the method from local tribesmen while hunting in Africa. His book, Wilderness & Political Ecology: Aboriginal Influences and the Original State of Nature, discusses this very issue at great length in a chapter entitled: False Gods, Ecological Myths, and Biological Reality. Humans can be amazingly proficient hunters.

Any evidence of humans in the New World before the Clovis time was dismissed, sometimes harshlyI cite the Clovis First academic intimidation as proof of how the 'consensus' in AGW has been built - and is wrong in both cases.

Radiocarbon dating of ancient faeces found in Oregon shows that humans were in North America as early as 14,300 years agoSo they crapped on the Clovis orthodoxy - who could immagine such a thing could happen tp a scientific consensus?

Too bad they came over in gas guzzling, climate warming, muscle cars w/o emission controls.
Had they not, we might still have the land bridge between Russia and Alaska.

For most of the past 50 years, archaeologists thought they knew how humans arrived in the New World. EVERYone knows they FLOATED over from Israel; in boats with holes in the bottom!

From this article it appears that established archaeolgists are trying to adapt to the "new paradigm" by circumscribing it so as to fence out anything any different from the old one. They are willing to let the dates of first entry slip back a bittle bit but only a little bit so as to retain 95% of their comfortable old shoe and their lifetimes of research and story making.
