Genetics Rewrites the History of Early America—And, Maybe, the Field of Archaeology

Exciting, first evidence of Homo erectis and their tools in Beringian during the end of the last Ice Age 20+k B.P. This adds empirical data to the "multiple migration wave" theory.

There was a series on PBS a while back titled "First Peoples" which examined new fossil finds and the latest genetic research. "It’s a story that revolves around a shocking revelation. In prehistoric times, we met and mated with other types of human – like Neanderthals, Denisovans and Homo erectus. This mixing of genes helped us survive - and ultimately thrive." One segment covered an indian girl called Eva. They discovered that Eva was on the Yucatan Peninsula centuries before the ice sheets parted (13,000 years ago). Her bones, through carbon dating, were older than any human remains in America. Her people must have found another route into the Americas. Here's that segment.
