Very cool. It seems likely that the land bridge from Asia to North America was already in place 30,000 years ago.Pretty cool reading this. Apparently, humans got here before the last ice age, so they sailed over here or something way back when? Does this push back civilization and advanced humans even further? I know ancient finds, like Göbeklitepe have pushed it back a bit, but this might push it back even further. I don't know, but pretty cool, none the less. The cool part to me was the footprints being in a layer that was lower than mammoth prints. Either way, the very early activity of humans has always been fascinating to me.
Fossil footprints show humans in North America more than 21,000 years ago

The tracks at one location have been revealed as both the earliest known footprints and the oldest firm evidence of humans anywhere in the Americas, showing that people lived there 21,000 to 23,000 years ago — several thousand years earlier than scientists once believed.
“It’s the earliest unequivocal evidence for humans in the Americas,” said the lead author of the study, Matthew Bennett, a professor of environmental and geographic sciences at Bournemouth University in the U.K.
It has long been debated whether humans arrived in the Americas by a northern route from Siberia before or after the Last Glacial Maximum, when vast sheets of ice would have made migration along the Pacific Coast or through western Canada impossible.
The ancient footprints at White Sands answer that question, suggesting that they may have arrived up to 30,000 years ago, thousands of years before the height of the ice age, Bennett said
Possibly. The article does mention that it might not be the case, but who really knows? I'd love to have a time machine to observe these things. Of course, it would have to be one that only lets me see and not interact. Otherwise I'd probably pass some disease on and ruin literally everything.Very cool.

Ice ages are periodic, so those human tracks might date to the previous one.Pretty cool reading this.

I'm guessing it was on foot.Science still doesn’t know how the early people spread, they only have theories so it’s not settled science.
My anthropology professor said it was by boat. They don’t know for sure. Some say life formed then spread out while others think that life developed all over at the same time.I'm guessing it was on foot.
If you're talking about human life, then the genetic record pretty much dispels that idea. Homo Sapiens doesn't trace back to multiple origins.Some say life formed then spread out while others think that life developed all over at the same time.
The consensus agrees with you but the point was that there is still enough not known that it remains a possible theory.If you're talking about human life, then the genetic record pretty much dispels that idea. Homo Sapiens doesn't trace back to multiple origins.
Life on the planet, however, might have arose in different places concurrently, under similar favorable conditions.

There is no HUMAN fossil record in the Americas that predates Homo Sapiens1) There has been no fossil record in North and South America that predates Homo Sapiens! -
Agreed.2) All the evidence points to Central Africa as the origin, with fossils reflecting later stages in human development found in Asia and Europe!
Not quite - whose fossil evidence is so far limited to Europe!3) European Homo Sapiens share approximately 5% of the genetic code with "Neanderthals" whose existence was limited to Europe!
Agreed.4) There is fossil evidence that "Neanderthals" became extinct as recently as 35,000 years ago which would explain their "inbreeding" with Homo Sapiens who were well on their way to becoming the dominant "hominoid" species!
Agreed.5) Scientifically, evolution is a slow but ongoing process whereby many species become extinct, having failed to adapt to changing environments over time - it would be naive to think that Homo Sapiens, in the future, will be exempt from this process!
No, the humans who were here before the last ice age were descendants of Adam and Eve. The Ice age occurred around the time of Noah's Flood.Pretty cool reading this.

Very cool. It seems likely that the land bridge from Asia to North America was already in place 30,000 years ago.
There was no "flood." There was a Deluge, but it was not a flood. It's not my fault x-tians don't know how to correctly translate the Sumerian-Akkadian loanword used in the Hebrew text, which was plagiarized from other cultures.No, the humans who were here before the last ice age were descendants of Adam and Eve. The Ice age occurred around the time of Noah's Flood.
There was no land bridge. That theory was demolished 30 years ago, but there are die-hard Mustache Pete dinosaurs that still cling to it.They had already determined that there were major migrations (over the land bridge?) more than once, up to 23,000 years ago.
One thing many people miss is that there was not one "ice age", there were several.
But most anthropologists now are starting to believe that the earliest migration was not via the land bridge, but by following the coastlines via boats. Likely by groups that lived primarily by fishing and lived along coastal regions. The larger numbers though arrived at a later date, and likely in greater numbers via the land bridge following the game they hunted.
I've never heard that. Can you share?There was no land bridge. That theory was demolished 30 years ago, but there are die-hard Mustache Pete dinosaurs that still cling to it.
Blame the scientists for believing their own corrupt ideology. The Sumaritians came after Adam and Eve. In fact, after Noah's flood that covered the entire earth. Did you know that the same formations caused by the local flood you are describing happened all over the world including in the United States? Didn't think so.There was no "flood."

There are 3 Stone Age tribal groups that live in the Amazonian Basin whose DNA is Australasian. Australasia is Indonesia and Australia and the islands in-between.
They sailed here more than 35,000 years ago and landed at a site in northern Chile. Since the Andes would have been a formidable obstacle, they migrated around the coast of South America to the Amazon Jungles where they were hunting giant sloths 25,000 years ago.
The skeletal remains of a Negroid woman was found in a cave there, but precise dating is not possible, so it's estimated at least 25,000 but not more than 42,000 years ago. Originally, there was a lot of excitement because it was thought she came from Africa, but DNA testing later confirmed that she is Australasian and related to the other 3 groups.
None of the tribal groups in the Pacific Northwest came across a land-bridge. Their oral histories and traditions all say they came by boat, because there was no land-bridge because it wasn't possible for there to be one.
Where it is alleged there was a land-bridge there was actually 4,000 ft glacier.
DNA testing also shows at least one European group migrated to the Atlantic Northeast.
It is important to remember that sea levels were 600-800 ft lower than present. This is a map I made geology class some years ago showing the Gulf States:

It would have been real easy to sail from Ireland to Iceland to Greenland to Nova Scotia.
Well, yes and no. Blame the Media for screwing things up.
There have been many Ice Ages and the current Ice Age began 23 Million years ago when the Caribbean Plate crashed into the North American Plate creating the Panamanian Isthmus and altering the flow of both wind and water currents in the Atlantic and Pacific, and when the Antarctic Continent reached "critical mass" within the Antarctic Circle (it moves at a rate of about 2.5 cm per year.)
Since then, we have experienced periodic Inter-Glacial Periods.
Initially, an Inter-Glacial Period lasted about 12,000-15,000 before reverting back to a Glacial Period lasting about 40,000 years.
After the Mid-Pleistocene Event 600,000 years ago, Inter-Glacial Periods started lasting 12,000 to 32,000 years and Glacial Periods 80,000 to 120,000 years.
But, it's still the same Ice Age. In the Future, when a "critical mass" of the Antarctic Continent moves out of the Antarctic Circle, the Ice Age will come to an end and then people will totally freak out because average global temperatures will be 95+°F all day long every day for Millions of years.

It would have been real easy to sail from Ireland to Iceland to Greenland to Nova Scotia.
But why?
There was absolutely no "seafaring tradition" among the peoples of North America in that time frame, unlike that of the Pacific. To that being the source of more than a small handful of people is foolish.
Huge areas of the Pacific were inhabited by prehistorical times, because many of the cultures were seafarers and would move from island to island. Yet, Iceland was not inhabited until around 800 CE, because Europeans did not have such a tradition.
Especially as the conditions there were not favorable most of the year for such adventuring until the advent of vessels like the Longship in the 3rd century CE
No, it has not. Unless you are one of the nutcases that believes in the "Solutrean Only hypothesis" of migration to the Americas. And even most who do accept the Solutrean hypothesis reject that one.
