does it ever end????

Why should it? I think the mobility of the ancient man has been severely underestimated by the modern man.

It's not a competition, is just an interest in unraveling the truth of the past and that takes time.

I may be way off base here, but isn't archeology a relatively "new" science. Prior to the last one hundred years it seems like it's just been grave robbing.

It isn't a little suspicious that a Brazilian anthtopologist is trying to prove the first people in the Americas were in Brazil or adjacent nations???

You are so right. The tendency is to cling to the old conventions ignoring anything that's radical or might upset the status quo. I've read that the Chinese have records stating the their ships sailed to South America and California. The Olmec statues have african faces. The 10,000 year old skulls that they found in the Pacific Northwest and the tribe there tried to keep from being analysed was caucasian. Who knows?
