‘The existence of 40,000 year old human footprints in Mexico means that the Clovis First model of human occupation (crica 13,500 years ago) can no longer be accepted as the first evidence of human presence in the Americas,” states professor David Huddart of Liverpool John Moores University.
Can’t you just hear all those academic careers going klunkety klunk klunk down the school steps into oblivion? Stubbornly, and for decades, academics had clung to their theory that 13,500 years was definitely the age of human occupation after the ice age here in the Americas. So much for the value of their collective obstinance. And what happens when some of the other finds listed in the Banner’s story (browse baby, browse!) on this subject are finally concluded to be authentic backdating once again the time of existence of man on this planet?
