“They found bison and mastodon bones that dated to 14,500 and showed clear signs of human butchering.”
Was it the expiration date on the package wrapping that gave it away?
“...it’s hard to understand what a bison could have survived on, especially in the Vero Beach area.”
Maybe they were there on vacation—brought some food from up north in checked baggage.
Sorry, couldn’t help myself and I apologize for being a smart-a. Don’t know what got into me today. Your post was informative and I, too, am curious about these repeated discoveries in the southeast that predate the western states’ human settlements and suggest some humans might have been in the ice-free areas before the end of the last ice age. How did they get there, if they were there?
“How did they get there, if they were there?” Pretty sure they had to change mammoths in Atlanta.
