Colonization Of The Americas Pushed Back 15,000 Years By Archeologists
Year: 2020
Perhaps one of the most surprising scientific findings for Americans in 2020 was learning that human colonization in the Americas was much older than we previously assumed. Analysis of Mexican cave tools and DNA analysis of sediment in the cave revealed something pretty massive. Humans, indeed, visited this cave 30,000 years ago. That is at least 15,000 years earlier than we assumed. We once thought the Clovis people were the first human inhabitants of the Americas. However, it is possible that before the Clovis people arrived, other human colonists tried and failed to survive here.
