But I though Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492 and discovered America? Right? That's what I was taught in school. So if there were people already here what happened to them all??? Hahahaha

Errr, the article gave the foot print date a range of 4500 - 25000 years, with a nearby camp dated 11000 years ago. I would say latching onto the top end of the error bar is unwarranted?

Columbus bought diseases that killed 95% of them by some more recent estimates.

But they sure don't teach that in school. They make you celebrate the extinction of the indigenous people. When I think back about some things I learned in school, its pretty sad how much stuff they omitted.

Then there is the find at Valsequillo, Mexico which the Clovis-First crowd has done its best to suppress.

Quote:The sediments immediately above the ash ranged from 9,000 to 40,000 years old. The dates of all three layers therefore suggest the footprints were made about 40,000 years ago, she said.

There is a lot of recent research on pre-columbian America that hasn't reach popular history yet. These research suggests pre-columbian Indian world is so enormously different from pervailing popular conception to a degree that is truly mind boggling. It also suggest these Indian cultures practiced land management techniques totally unique and had such stupendous golbal ecological impact that what the Indians did materially effected the rise and fall of classical old world civilizations like Rome and China.
