Re: Strong Evidence of Humans in N. America 21K-23K Years Ago
​"This is a subject that's always been controversial because it's so significant—it's about how we understand the last chapter of the peopling of the world," said Thomas Urban.
Less than 10,000 year difference between old and new data. Significant difference but this seems hyperbole. What controversy? We have more accurate data. Did someone lose their tenured faculty position because of this? Do they hang the guys that got it wrong?
But you found it significant enough to bring it here. I missed something. So please educate me, Tany. Why did you find this compelling?

Re: Strong Evidence of Humans in N. America 21K-23K Years Ago
It changes the whole idea of indigenous culture and population models.
Why? There is less than 10,000 years to add to the mix. That's not a lot.
I am missing something. I can't see where this is any more controversial than a data update in the spreadsheet.
What does that 10,000 year span mean to the indigenous culture? The population was here earlier than we thought. They did the same thing as in our other scenario only earlier and longer. So what controversy is this thing fixing?
Sorry. Let me think on this.
