"I was extremely bothered by the idea of the pre-historic French getting the credit not only for floating to North America, but even for creating the Clovis point." You mean this?
Iberia, Not Siberia
Have you seen the latest from the Topper site in South Carolina? Goodyear (archaeologist) is reporting dates of human occupation exceeding 50,000 years. (It was posted 3-4 times on FR)

Yep. The NOVA show talked about the Solutreans (sp?) and said they were from
southern France. The episode included a visit to a French excavation site
and a visit to an adjacent museum to find a some "close to Clovis" points in
the boxes of debris saved from the site.
The Topper site is interesting...you and other archeo-freepers keep us
amateurs well-informed!
