I believe there was another recent study that found some pre-Clovis ancient DNA and concluded that modern Native Americans shared little in common, implying that pre-Clovis people were largely wiped out and thus are not ancestors of modern Native Americans. Also not sure that the academic consensus has been that Clovis was the earliest settlement for maybe a decade.
