Monte Verdes Age Revisited: New Study Challenges Early Human Presence in Americas
A new study questions the age of Monte Verde, once considered the earliest evidence of humans in the Americas. Researchers from Chile and Wyoming argue that a nearby stream eroded rocks, mixing older sediments with newer layers, potentially skewing earlier dates. However, original excavators push back, citing directly dated items like a mastodon tusk tool and a wooden lance. The studys authors maintain their stance, questioning the true age of these artifacts. The debate continues, challenging the old theory of Clovis hunters arrival and pushing timelines back.
