A pile of mammoth bones in New Mexico show evidence of potentially being handled by humans around 37,000 years ago, but some experts disagree.
The New Mexico site from 37,000 years ago contains bones that had been carved as well as evidence the beasts' fat was rendered over fires.
The surprising discovery of mammoth fossils in a paleontologist's backyard have led to an even more unexpected finding.
Science is never static, it evolved as new tools and techniques become available and old knowledge is updated with new based on obesrvations, tests and study. Change is of course the only constant and the adage fits perfectly to all sciences. A new study has added to the discussion of when exactly did humans arrived to North America. It is generally considered that first native Americans arrived in North America in 10,000 BC. These people are thought to have crossed the 'alnd bridge' that previously connected Siberia (Russia) and Alaska (North America).
The surprising discovery of mammoth fossils in a paleontologist's backyard have led to an even more unexpected finding. The roughly 37,000-year-old remains of a female mammoth and her calf show distinct signs of butchering, providing new evidence that humans may have arrived in North America much earlier than believed.
