I have always been of the mind that humans got to the Americas much earlier than the
Clovis Culture. To come into an empty landscape as big as the North and South American continents
(28.4% of its land area of earth) and to fill it with all the different tribes and cultures as found by the Spaniards, English and later explorers would require much longer than the 14,000 years generally given as the earliest date for human arrival in Paleoindian New Mexico.
