Thanks for the ping, Sam! It was a very interesting article.

I think pushing the first arrival of humans in the Americas back to an earlier time is likely to push the earliest devlopments of human civilization back to an earlier time, as well. For myself, I've always had a hard time believing that modern humans have been wandering over Earth for some 250,000 years, and yet all of human civilization is supposed to have only existed for about 5,000 years. The idea that it took humans 245,000 years or so to develop agriculture and then in the next 5,000 years we develop technology to the point where we can travel to the moon just seems silly to me.

When you put it that way it does sound ridiculous.
