"Giant mammals roamed North America during the Ice Age, but were humans among them? A site in Vero Beach on Florida's East coast contains mammoth, mastodon, giant ground sloth—and human fossils. The problem is that humans were not yet supposed to have been there, according to the standard story told to generations of archaeologists.
When discovered in the early 1900s, researchers insisted that the Vero Beach human remains washed in long after the large mammals fossilized. But new results, like so many other similar reinvestigations of old sites, show they were made at the same time and that humans lived and died in North America long before believed. What took researchers so long to acknowledge that?
The reason why it took so long for the evidence to come to light may be the same reason why fossil evidence of humans and dinosaurs is so scarce."

We are liberals! We believe in Science!!
Until it produces facts that disagree with our beliefs. Then we argue, name call, question your motives, and, finally, reject the facts.
How retarded. Of course humans and mammoths coexisted—whom do they think created all those cave paintings?
I love the smell of Strawmen in the morning.
So, this article is pointing out that a fairly long-held scientific view (hardly “dogma,” as the writer puts it) is being disproved by a growing mass of new information. And so?? It happens frequently.
Of course, ICR wants people to make the leap that humans & dinosaurs coexisted. Because any other scenario is downright unbiblical.
But that's kind of the point. People who do not buy into the concept of macro-evolution and typically brushed aside: "Bug off! I'm a scientist! Who are you???"
But then things change, and the scientist who was so sure of himself is found to be wrong, and now has a new conclusion, which is once again unassailable: "That's how science is done! Now we know more! This time the science is settled! Bug off!"
It's not science. It's scientism.
but we creationist have been telling ‘science so-called’ for years, they were wrong and we were right...that is why it is being pointed out....
“It’s scientism.” No, it’s “ego.”
Pathetic. Is this what its come to? The ID’ers at least attempted to formulate some sort of intellectually respectable alternative to abiogenesis. This is just silly.
Biologist: We’ve had to revise our estimates as to when humans populated this particular region.
ICR: SEE!! DEM SCIENTIST DUN KNOW NUFFINZ!
Lordy lordy...

They can't acknowledge that Indians were not the first native Americans.
It would damage their victim status.
okey dokey
“The problem is that humans were not yet supposed to have been there, according to the standard story told to generations of archaeologists. “
??????????????????????????????????????????????????
Clovis first is pretty much out the window and most palaeontologists and anthropologists believe man was here before the Clovis extinctions of the Pleistocene Megafauna.
To my knowledge, they ACKNOWLEDGED the presence of clovis projectiles in Mammoth bones.
The PC history of North America says that the natives were living here well in tune with nature, and each other, and everything was fine for millennia until the Europeans showed up and “raped the Earth”.
The mass extinction of all those cuddly mammoths caused by the Native Americans just does not fit into the liberal mythology.
The inner part of the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State was not tread by man until some white Americans did it well into the nineteenth century. The deer and other large mammals there had never seen people and were quite fearless of them. Now imagine two whole continents full of mammals who had never seen people until the natives arrived. Easy pickin’s for that expanding edge of humans who first arrived.
Mammoth - it’s what’s for dinner.
“Scientists Late to Recognize Human and Giant Mammal Coexistence.”
I had no idea that the relationship between humans and NBA Basketball players went that far back into antiquity. /s
All I had to do is read the title to know where this came from.
Aren’t atheist ‘sceintists” arresting people for making creationist claims in scientific results? ;)
