I bet the “natives” are getting restless about this...?

“Goebel”

Unfortunate name for a geneticist.

Damn lawyers.

It's either a fact or it isn't. The idea of consensus is ridiculous.

The article, which is published in tomorrow's issue of the journal Science, shows that the first Americans came from a single Siberian population and ventured across the Bering land bridge connecting Asia and North America about 22,000 years ago.

The original "illegal immigrants."

[Billthedrill]

Oh, great. We got another glacial maximum on the way and we're probably going to get another influx of migratory foreigners when it hap

Oh, wait...

But then the group got stuck for up to 5,000 years, blocked by thick ice sheets across Canada...It was only when the ice had melted sufficiently that humans began to spread south...

"We all have open minds, and we will leave them open," Harpending said.

Speaking of open minds, he should remind the warming alarmists that Global Warming made settlement of the Americas possible.

When is the United States going to withdraw from the occupied territories?

This is what we keep asking Israel to do. They were attacked. We were not.

Got a kid to donate?

[Revolting cat!]

Oh yeah, about 8,500 years before the Good Lord created the Earth, right!

[frankenMonkey]

All kidding aside, isn’t it remarkable that a few thousand humans could populate the entire western hemisphere, from the arctic, through north and central america, to the Andes and beyond, and raise such spectacular civilizations like the Maya, in only fifteen thousand years? How many generations is that?

[machogirl]

you mean, that GLOBAL WARMING had to occur before the people migrated from Alaska on south, just what was going on to warm the planet, to melt the ice sheets, 15-20 thousand years ago?

no cars, no bad, big-business, no airplanes, no fossil fuels?

[FFranco]

Is there discussion of the possibility of movement by water along the west coast of N. America from Alaska? Thus bypassing the land route blocked by glaciers.

[Publius6961]

A consensus is emerging in the highly contentious debate over the colonization of the Americas, according to a study that says the bulk of the region wasn't settled until as late as 15,000 years ago.

There's that weasel phrase, "the bulk of".
I am quite sure that settlements or occupation sites have been discovered in South America considerably older than that.

[quadrant]

Who were the people who migrated? What drove them to migrate? What did they find when they arrived?

Settled or colonized might be too strong as descriptive terms for what was happening.
