I watched a program on the History channel, I believe it was titled "10,000 B.C.", this past weekend that postulated that the Clovis Point makers were from Europe. The oldest points being found in Va. that were similar to points found in France.

Very interesting and informative program.

That was a very up to date program and contained the most up to date information and theories...I do recommend viewing it. One of the scientists was the author of this article: Immigrants From The Other Side (Clovis Is Solutrean?)

I saw that. Very interesting.

“10,000 B.C.”

I saw that too. One thing I found interesting was the 2 or 3 foot layers of sediment left over from the Younger-Dryas period, covering the Clovis evidence.

This makes me wonder how deep/far should scientist dig to uncover evidence of past civilizations. Seems most are satisfied with shallow digs that only go back a few tens of thousands of years or looking for specimens uncovered in more ancient rock by erosion.

It's possible, with all the catastrophic events through history, evidence of man past may be lost forever. Aside from the fragments found now and then, we may never know how advanced man became between mass extinction events.
