I'm not buying it. The mastadons didn't die off all that long ago either. They still find complete specimens frozen in the permafrost.
I would say these guys are trying to make a name for themselves, or get some attention by outrageous claims in my archaeological opinion.

These findings confirm the presence of an unidentified species of Homo at the CM site during the last interglacial period
Probably wandered down from Fresno
(Sorry, yes I am a juvenile moron)
Seriously though - this is a significant find but hardly anybody is going to buy it entirely until at least one other site of vaguely similar age is found. Which I hope they do because I always like a good scientific dust up.

Interesting stuff. But 25 years to publish? Questionable time span.
We live in the age of crashing paradigms.
The evidence at this site could mean many things. How about this one: Alien eco tourism doing the "cave-man" adventure by coming down and hunting big game with sticks and rocks just for the sport of it.
Ya gotta keep the eyes open and the mind sharp.

There is a good chance the first people's in North America came from Europe. Unfortuently because of our PC culture it's unlikely that will ever be acknowledged -even if solid evidence showed it to be true. To even suggest the theory is somehow seen as racist.

Yes, Wilmot, you're talking about the Solutreans, whose stone tools look suspiciously like Clovis points. And on top of that, there were more Clovis points found at a few sites on the east coast than in the rest of the continent put together.
But this would predate the Solutreans by 100,000 years! May not even be our species!
