I’m glad Waters is willing to consider that peopling of the Americas may go back as far as 25,000 years ago. On the other hand there is no reason to think it may not go back much farther than that. After all, with Ice Ages striking roughly every 100,000 years, who knows how many times huminoids built up to a relatively advanced cultural state and then were blown away by some catastrophe, or centuries of unsurvivable climate, and then had to start all over when conditions finally improved again. I’m glad that people are finally looking under water, considering that many people settle by the water and so much that was exposed previously is now covered by melt.
