“Close to the ancient footprints was an ancient note warning about global freezing.”

Made me laugh. Thx

"The establishment archeologists have a difficult time letting go of the Clovis assumptions."

Clovis? Didn't she co-star in "Young Frankenstein?"

Yes, Before Present; just to slap ya around some more, “Present” refers to the radiocarbon baseline, which is 1950, the year the technique was developed.

“They” worked slowly and carefully, and when the paper was new, the discovery was recent.

Bury her, anyway.

Exciting discovery, but at least one incongruity...

People walking around with bare feet during the glacial maximum?

Downtown Seattle had more than a half mile of ice on top of it 23,000 years ago.

By latitude, White Sands National Park is just 1,200 miles south of Seattle.

Besides the temperature, the last ice age reduced rain fall across the entire world. I have to wonder why White Sands had more standing water 23,000 years ago than it has today.

You should post your link, it’s an update from this I think.
