New World Man Dated At Fifty Thousand Years
SAN DIEGO AP A group of scientists reports fossil studies suggesting humans existed in the New World at least 50 000 years ago, far earlier than the commonly held 20 000 year timeline. Fossils found along the Southern California coast include skulls and bones dated 26 000 to 48 000 years, challenging migration across a Bering land bridge. Researchers propose low sea levels could have created land connections around 140 000 and 70 000 years ago, implying multiple ancient migrations.
