Gentle, one with nature, Native Americans butchered the
mega-fauna of the Americas into extinction as they moved south.
Yeah, and chased 'em all the way down to Florida where they cornered them on the peninsula -- from SOME accounts as recently as three to four thousand years ago. Not sure how reliable those accounts may be since the megafauna in North America were presumably wiped out at the end Pleistocene. Me, I dunno...
"The oldest human remains found in the Americas were recently "discovered" in the storeroom of Mexico's National Museum of Anthropology. Found in central Mexico in 1959, the five skulls were radiocarbon dated by a team of researchers from the United Kingdom and Mexico and found to be 13,000 years old. They pre-date the Clovis culture by a couple thousand years, adding to the growing evidence against the Clovis-first model for the first peopling of the Americas.
Of additional significance is the shape of the skulls, which are described as long and narrow, very unlike those of modern Native Americans.
