The savanna freaks just discovered pre Clovis people in the Americas.

It only took them 18 years AFTER you shared this cite!

The snorkel nose freaks are apparently unaware that pre Clovis
sites first began to be discovered in the *1970s*.

Like Monte Verde

"The site was discovered in late 1975..."

Meadowcroft

"Native Americans left the site during the American
Revolutionary War. It was not rediscovered until many
years later, when, in 1955, Albert Miller found the
first artifacts in a groundhog burrow. Miller delayed
reporting his findings so as to not attract vandals,
until he contacted James M. Adovasio, who led the
first excavations of the site in 1973 until 1979 by
the Cultural Resource Management Program of the
University of Pittsburgh."

Here's a nice listing of pre Clovis sites

The word you meant to use here was "Identified."

There's also a difference between "Pre Clovis" and 38,000 years
ago.
