How can a sculpture be 5,935 years, three and half months older than the earth?

Just because the wood is that old, doesn’t mean the sculpture is that old.

At the time, the results were rather controversial and many scholars rejected the results, stating that hunter-gatherers couldn't possibly have created such a large statue, especially one with intricate carvings and designs. That's odd:

I find most of that Ancient Aliens show to be silly but i did see one episode that really made me think. They showed what is required by our current technology to move a single stone that weighed some 50 tons or so IIRC to a site from the quarry to a location in LA some 50 miles away. The best we could do with our technology was it cost millions, required thousands of man hours, and took days. One unfinished stone. With the best modern technology.
When you look at those stones in South America that predate the Incas and think about it, as primitive as we would like to consider them they were able to accomplish something our economy would struggle to replicate today.

This sentence gives me a headache.
Instead of revealing a much earlier date than the previous controversial findings, researchers dated the sculpture to be even older than previously dated at 11,600 years old.

perhaps the art of the hunter-gatherers possibly changed to cope with the new, unfamiliar world.As if those changes all occurred in the course of one generation or three.

It is probably real old. It probably pre-dates the last ice age.
But radio carbon dating on this type of thing is sometimes wildly off. Radio carbon dating is good for things that are really, really old. But the deviation at 11k year is pretty wide.
