#1 Are we sure it wasn't just mammoths with fake human feet like in the Wile E. Coyote cartoons?

#2 There has actually been quite a few sites that suggest a human presence in the America's from 50,000BC on. They all get dismissed as "we're not sure,the data looks right,but we'll have to wait and see." Very tough to get orthodox thought changed in the Universities.(One reason why they are still full of Marxists,etc.)
BTW,there have been several occasions when the Siberia-Alaska corridor was passable,including @ 50,000,30,000 and 20,000 yrs ago.

#3 Now that we've got it sorted, who gets the real estate for the casino and "cultural" museum?

#4 I'd say these footprints were made by a BigFoot at the time trying to prove the existence of mythical nearly-hairless biped creatures with little feet.....

#7 Ho. Lee. Sh. It.

Gonna be lots of Native American activists popping Tums tonight.

This needs to be forwarded to McCain's office; maybe he'll back away from his "bury the bones" bill to change NAGPRA so the tribes can destroy all evidence of the people they replaced.

Actually, it's not all that clear there ever WAS an ice-free land corridor. Coastal routes are infinitely more likely.

Of course, even the most up-to-date museums still peddle the Clovis-first carp.

#9 Probably just some nitwit kid walking in the wet concrete. Or maybe an early version of the walk of the holywood stars where they put their handprints in wet concrete.

#10 There has been proof for years that the Clovis people were not first, and there is even proof that the Clovis people exterminated the people that were here before them. Of course, all of this has been surpressed by Indian activists and their lawyers, claiming that the white man stole their land and now is trying to steal their history.
Never mind the facts and the science, move along, nothing to see here.

#13 Don't forget that 9,000 y.o. Kennewick Man showed no substantial genetic relations to any of the four tribes that claimed him as an ancestor, especially ironic given his caucasoid features, hmm?
