Over the past twenty years....there’s been dozens of bits and pieces to suggest humans in the Americas way past 13,000 years ago. The establishment has fought them tooth and nail. This group here? They’ve spent twenty years going over one single site and the evidence at that site. It’s air-tight.

Not that surprising. Assuming humans traveling less than 1 mile per day, it would only take about 10,000 years to go half way around the planet.

Circumference of Earth is about 25,000 miles at the equator.

Yeah, and half of that would be 12,500. At a mile day that would take 34+ years not 10,000.

Oooops. I see your point. Actual journey of 10,000 miles at about a mile per day would take about 30 years.

Lets see, 130,000 years ago, who was on the prowl?
Ancient hominids who were intrinsic to the Americas?
This pre Clovis possibility has the leftist politico-pseudoscientists’ panties all in a twist.The 1st people in America MUST only be those politically defined at present!
Pre-Clovis people are evident. Their spoor was found at other sites: Pennsylvanias Meadowcroft Rockshelter and Chiles Monte Verde.
Soon we will find more of their bones. Meanwhile the political fires, charges and counter charges of racist science continue:

You could probably add a few years for stopping for childbirth, burials, fights with mastodons and saber tooth tigers, Christmas and Easter, etc. So, let's say it took a bit longer. :)

Anyone who watches the Flintstones knows that humans and Mastodons coexisted hundreds of thousands of years ago. I don’t know why it’s taken so long for the ‘experts’ to figure the same thing out. Maybe they’re just trying to milk funding as long as possible?

Maybe Gigantopithecus blocked their path through the Asian jungles for about 9,970 years.
