The "danty foot" tribe will undoubtably claim rights to them.

They were heading for the border, no doubt.

Let me guess, they were trying to sneak into the US then too.

I'm just curious. If the belief is still that people came to the Americas via a land bridge from Siberia during an ice age, why are the oldest known footprints in Mexico and/or Peru?

Good question. There are believed to have been several migrations, and I think the Kon-Tiki proved that SA was reachable by reed boat from ... Africa? ... I forget.

Oh, yeah, I vaguely remember that. I didn't know if they had really accepted it, it seems to me like a long journey to bring enough people to start a civilization by boat, but maybe they've decided it was possible or likely. It's been a LONG time since I've read anything about that.

Wasn't me. I was still in grade school then.
Been there since, however.

Oh that's not nice. You know, politics aside, the old gal is probably somebody's Grandmother. Would you want your Grandmother picked on so mercilessly on a public forum? You know, most Freepers don't look like Anne Coulter. Picking on someone for the way they look is just so - so D.U., so low rent, imho.
Let's stick to ideas.

My recolection is that Thor Hyerdahl sailed his blsa-wood raft from Peru to Polyonesia via the Humbolt Current.

Why is this news? This is easily within the Macroevolutionary timescale for the settling of the Americas.

Chile, and you've probably heard speculation that there were several waves of immigration to the Americas. For those who still insist on only the Bering landbridge, people still had a few thousand years (in Macroevolutionary timescale) to get from Alaska to those regions. Improbable (again for Macroevolutionists), but it theoretically could have happened.
Creationist model: the Americas were settled (along with the rest of the world) some five thousand years ago or so after the Flood and Babel.
