NYT Times book review: A Genetic History of the Americas

[edit]

Just noting a relevant book review from today's NY Times: "Did the First Americans Arrive via Land Bridge? This Geneticist Says No". nytimes.com. Retrieved 8 February 2022. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:44, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Possible evidence of clovis settlement in southwestern oklahoma.

[edit]

I would really like to know how to really talk to someone about some things that I've seen and documented around my area. I got what I believe to be mounds of evidence that may support the fact that there was a clovis people type settlement right here in southwestern oklahoma. 2600:387:C:5534:0:0:0:8 (talk) 04:56, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

White Sands NM human footprint dating re-opens Beringia crossing theory

[edit]

The dating of human footprints found in White Sands NM desert (Oct 2023) puts into question aspects of the Beringia Crossing theory, which asserts a crossable land bridge existed between 16000-9000 BP. The footprints were dated by 2 independent methods (quartz sunlight aging, and pollen analysis) that agree the footprints were laid down between 23000 and 21000 BP.

Someone with expertise on this might want to interject a note of caution into this article's true status as unproven theory subject to ongoing discoveries. Pbierre (talk) 12:49, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
