will soon see a "quiet revolution"

It will be a bitterly opposed revolution and will depend on young archaeologistswho are trying to make names for themselves because the older ones will fight bitterly to suppress any discoveries that question their own assumptions. Archaeologists are some of the very most "religious" of scientists in that for them all knowledge is "received" as with an original "revelation" that cannot be challenged but can only be elucidated.

Yup. Archaeology/anthropology in the Americas are already in revolt. Monte Verde broke the mold....and if the underwater site (2200 ft) off the coast of Cuba proves to be human, the flood gates are open. (World history will be rewritten)
