The traditional view is that the first settlers walked across the Bering Strait, from Russia to Alaska, at the end of the last ice age around 11,500 to 11,000 years ago.
I've long thought that our view of when humans came to the America's first seemed overly simplistic. But that seems to be changing as the evidence for human habitation of the America's pushes the date further and further back.
****A plastic replica of a 40,000-year-old, size eight foot ... made ... from tracks left on the shore of an ancient volcanic lake in central Mexico.****Yep, and he was on his way to the future USA to do the work some lazy Cro-Magnon refused to do.
I say it's all

Where would we without glow-bull warning? We'd have nothing to protect U.S. fropm the raving Mongol hordes and they's just walk across the bridge. Thank goodness for forty thousand years of global warming.
Crossing the Rio Grande, no doubt, using instructions found on a stone pamphlet.
hose with a size 8 foot didn't come over the Bering Strait!?!?
This hasen't been widely reported here because it doesn't fit the politically correct view.
Illegal Alien?
I've got $5 says our indigenous aboriginies [Native Americans]:[a] Go to Court to claim the footprint for native burial, [b] Claim the footprint as Native American, NOT Samoan, or anybody else, and [c] Try to erect a memorial Casino on the spot it was found.
A plastic footprint, was it stamped made in China?
Was it heading north?
Another sacred cow bites the dust.

Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on, off, or alter the "Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list --

The GGG Digest -- Gods, Graves, Glyphs (alpha order)
Also a Cherokee does not look at all like a Sioux.
RightWhale, do you remember a few years ago when I asked you the retorical question, "I wonder how many humans were killed during the Barringer Crater impact, 50,000 years ago."
Not such a quirky question all of a sudden.
Were these footprints made by Modern Humans or perhaps Homo-Erectus?
