New dating method pushes back history
University of California Los Angeles geologist Dr. Rainer Berger says amino acid racemization points to earliest Americans arriving at least 40,000 years ago, vastly preceding prior estimates. He notes need for corroboration and cites mammoth bone, stone tool, and red soil finds on California Channel Islands as supporting evidence while radiocarbon also confirms antiquity. Evidence suggests land bridge from Asia facilitated migration before 40,000 years ago, with ongoing debate on how much earlier.
