The discovery demonstrates the presence of an ancient human population in America's Far West at the end of the last ice age. It was found that human coprolites were of Siberia-east Asian origins and is between 13,000 and 13,200 years old.

The findings also confirmed that these fossilized samples were a thousand years older than the Clovis civilization, Paleo-Indian people who were used to reside in New Mexico around 11,500 years ago.

Jenkins's work at the site began in 2002, but archaeologists first began exploring the caves as early as 1938. He said, "As we have used increasingly sophisticated scientific techniques in recent years, our understanding of the cultural and megafaunal remains at the site has grown dramatically".

What do you mean "the last ice age"?

There's been more than one?

What happened in between?

I really don’t see how they know it was of Siberia-east Asian origins. Science makes a lot of stuff up.

wow I bet after this came out the ‘feces hit the fan’ with the European-clovis theorists.

of course this proves that Asian made it to the Americas. it doesn’t and can’t deny the European, westward, follow the ice sheets, theory.

the explosion of Toba and various floating crap games(hence the coprolites)

I had an anthropology professor who always said: ‘Civilization is what happens between ice ages’.

So the bear who ate the human and took a sh..

And all this money spent is going to prove what? That if a bear sh*** in the woods....does anyone smell it after 11,500 years??
