ANCIENT HUMANS IN AMERICA: WHY A DISCOVERY IN NEW MEXICO CHANGES EVERYTHING

[wnylib]

15. So, if modern humans were in

North America as early as 21,000 years ago, and possibly 30,000 years ago, I wonder if any Neanderthals, or even Homo Erectus ever made it from Asia to the Americas. There is no evidence that either one did, but I wonder if it's possible and we just haven't found the evidence yet.

Leaky thought that he had found evidence of stone tools in Montana going back more than 100,000 years. His finds were rejected as natural rock formations and the idea that there were human-made tools that long ago in America was ridiculed. But could it have happened? The only evidence that would be acceptable would be if there was a scraper with animal residue on it that could be dated, or actual human remains.
