They are dating charcoal, so those petroglyphs are somewhat misleading, or have they been dated too? Charcoal occurs naturally, and could be of any age. I would say that this research is far from conclusive, although there is no theoretical reason why humans couldn't have come to the new world 56,000 years ago. The problem is lack of evidence.

I don't believe that the South American Indians have diverged from their Mongolian ancestors sufficiently to account for 50,000+ years of seperation, but that's pure speculation on my part.

"These dates are good and reliable and there's no reason to doubt them," Dr Michael Bird, a member of the team who developed the new dating technique, told ABC Science Online.

Not only is the carbon dating getting older and older but the evolutionists are getting bolder and bolder and further and further from the only accurate dating, the Bible.

I believe that God's account of creation is the only truth that is acceptable, and He said the way it is, only once, and His creation statements are final.

Save your breath and your flames of denial because they would just be wasted on this believer.

I may yet get my wish, before I croak, to see the out of Africa crowd impailed before their door posts.

what may be the oldest known human record in the Americas.

It's a record if it is written or drafted. It should also be recorded at the local recorder's office, although that office may be long gone. Otherwise it is a fact or possibly information, and it is probably data, too. The date is about the same as the date of earliest Australia, so what is going on here?

My family has been in the Northern New England/Upstate New York/Southern Canada area for at LEAST 10,000 years. We arrived there from somewhere else, but it certainly wasn't an overnight thing.

People have been in the Americas for far longer than previously thought has always been my opinion...

56+ but did they have Carnivale!

Oh I do. Maybe the guys of "Forbidden Archeology" have the right idea. I am going to have to re-read that book this winter.

If only carbon dating was reliable ... then this could be interesting. Then atheists, er evolutionists, would have a leg to stand on. Instead it's the same ole thing - crowing about nothing and no evidence to support it.

Either that or dating methods are just unreliable!

IMO carbon dating is as much junk science as global warming. Some day they will admit as much.
