The Oldest Known Human Remains in the Americas Have Been Found in a Mexican Cave

An ice-free corridor between the Americas and Asia opened up about 12,500 years ago, allowing humans to cross over the Bering land bridge to settle what is now the United States and places beyond to the south. History books have conveyed that information for years to explain how the Americas were supposedly first settled by people, such as those from the Clovis culture. At least one part of the Americas was already occupied by humans before that time, however, says new research on the skeleton of a male youth found in Chan Hol cave near Tulúm, Mexico. Dubbed the Young Man of Chan Hol, the remains date to 13,000 years ago, according to a paper published in the journal PLOS ONE.

Before the Asian “Indians” ever came to N. America, the Paleo humans were here. The Indians killed them off over a long period of time. That is why I laugh when I repeatedly hear about the Native Americans. They werent even the first humans in N. America.

They came from South Asia?

So the Indians are Viet Cong?

I’m so confused.

Or they were here before the Bering land bridge even opened.

Oceans are highways, not barriers, ask the Polynesians.

I read a few years back that anthropologists were discovering that the very earliest humans discovered were caucasian. The Amerind tribe threw the anthropologists off the land. It’d damage them politically if the truth that they had stolen the land from earlier tribes became known.

Oral tradition allegedly recounts the occurrence that created meteor crater in AZ so either someone saw it ~44K years ago or they were really freakin’ bright and noodled out what it was thousands of years ago while we were arguing over it being a “cryptovolcanic structure” up to the 1950’s...

Known as “Clovis First,” the predominant hypothesis among archaeologists in the latter half of the 20th century had been that the people associated with the Clovis culture were the first inhabitants of the Americas. The primary support for this was that no solid evidence of pre-Clovis human habitation had been found. According to the standard accepted theory, the Clovis people crossed the Beringia land bridge over the Bering Strait from Siberia to Alaska during the period of lowered sea levels during the ice age, then made their way southward through an ice-free corridor east of the Rocky Mountains in present-day Western Canada as the glaciers retreated.[37]

This hypothesis came to be challenged by studies suggesting a pre-Clovis human occupation of the Americas.[38] In 2011, following the excavation of an occupation site at Buttermilk Creek, Texas, a prominent group of scientists claimed to have definitely established the existence “of an occupation older than Clovis.”[39][40]

According to researchers Michael Waters and Thomas Stafford of Texas A&M University, new radiocarbon dates place Clovis remains from the continental United States in a shorter time window beginning 450 years later than the previously accepted threshold (13,200 to 12,900 BP).[2]

Recently the scientific consensus has changed to acknowledge the presence of pre-Clovis cultures in the Americas, ending the “Clovis first” consensus.[41][42][43] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clovis_culture#Evidence_of_human_habitation_before_Clovis
