The problem of cerutti's dating is that the archaeological record of hominids in the high Arctic begins <50kya, 80k after the hypothetical dating. There's some middle paleolithic stuff in southern/central Siberia, but also few options to get to the new world without boats or beringia (which was submerged during previous interglacials).
- moloch-hai 4y agoThat is not, in fact, a problem of Cerutti's dating. Its dating is rock solid. The problem is clearly in preconceptions about H. migration, and beliefs about the capabilities of our ancestors long ago. People constructed boats and settled Crete 200,000 years ago. Like it or not. Were they H. sap., in Europe already? Maybe!
