HAs anyone ever come up with a theory as to why human beings appeared on continents like Asia and Africa way back—but nowhere in either S. America or N. America is there evidence of humans until migrations occurred in relatively recent times ,viz 10-12,000 years ago?
Much of N. America is ecologically and climatologically friendly to human species for example, but no human evolution from the primordial slime?
Nor, for the religiously inclined, was God involved in seeding humans into the Americas, presumably for lack of interest.
Maybe these folks:
The oldest human remains found in the Americas were recently "discovered" in the storeroom of Mexico's National Museum of Anthropology. Found in central Mexico in 1959, the five skulls were radiocarbon dated by a team of researchers from the United Kingdom and Mexico and found to be 13,000 years old.(snip)
Of additional significance is the shape of the skulls, which are described as long and narrow, very unlike those of modern Native Americans.(snip)
... but they imply that the first wave of people arrived in the Americas more than 30,000 years ago. This suggests archaeologists should be looking in older geological strata."
Many reputations have been destroyed challenging the 'Clovis Theory'.
