New discoveries from several archaeological sites in North and South America suggest that ancient people first arrived in the New World much earlier than scientists once thought.

    Seems like every 6 months there’s a claim like this that gets media attention and then gets disproven later.

    I don’t care either way, just think it’s kinda funny.

      I was gonna say that this can’t be new. I just saw a show on one of the history channel channels about the clovis people who lived side by side with mastodon and giant sloths. Of course, it’s just like the history channel to take something someone said with little or no evidence and make a show about it as if it were fact.

        Oh wow I didn’t realize the history channel was still going. I hadn’t seen it there, probably just articles on Lemmy. May have been mentioned by Stefan Milo- an archeologist I watch on Nebula- but I could be misremembering.
