Listening to Graham Hancock, I have only recently learned that the "Clovis first" theory that people arrived to the Americas only 13k years ago, belongs to the 1970s. Since then, there have been findings of much older human presence:
Bluefish Caves, Yukon, 24k years ago
Old Crow Flats, Yukon, 25k-40k years ago
White Sands, New Mexico, 21k-23k years ago
Hartley Mammoth site, New Mexico, 38k years ago
Cerutti Mastodon site, San Diego county, California, 130k years ago
Monte Verde, Chile, 14k-33k years ago

- cpncrunch 4y agoGraham Hancock isn't a reliable source for anything.
- knighthack 4y agoYour ignorance and bias are showing. Not being reliable is not the same as being untruthful. And here, Graham was right.
- diggernet 4y agoApparently he can be, as he reliably informed sampo that pre-Clovis people existed, as demonstrated by the multiple links that sampo provided above.

- sampo 4y ago> Graham Hancock isn't a reliable source for anything. He was on these.

- axpy906 4y agoThank you for posting this. It’s interesting that the 9k date puts this at the younger Dryas, right around the time when massive devastation then hit the North American continent. Hancock writes about this.
