it just maybe true cause there are sites in the use dated to 130,000BC; In South America, where there is less consensus thinking, there are sites that date to almost 300,000 BC.
There is more and more evidence that there was a human diaspora from the now sunken area of Sundaland north to Asia, south to Africa, East to the Pacific, based on mDNA and haplogroup typing.
As far as the Tribes claim goes that they were ‘born’ here ... it is a legal fiction to hang their political hat on, gaining special status over all other Americans, as well as huge $tipend$ from working Americans.
I think there may be a little confusion. The oldest known anthropological evidence of homo sapiens dates back an estimated 300K. That evidence is found in Africa.
While the prevailing theory for man existing in the Americas is closer to 30K years go. There is some evidence to suggest it might be longer, 50K to 60K years.
It’s also not clear if any ancestors of those early humans migrants exist today.
I haven’t seen anything to suggest man existed in the Americas 300K years ago. If you’re familiar with that research, I’d love to read it. Anthropology has fascinated me since childhood.
