37K old site found in New Mexico

New Mexico mammoths among best evidence for early humans in North America (phys.org)

I note a couple of bits of sloppiness in the reporting. Clovis is only around after 14K years ago and there is no mention of the White Sands footprints - also in New Mexico. Finally the idea that it is now OK to accept a second group of "first Americans" to supplement the failing story of "Clovis First" is no less absurd than having a single such group.

Update: It is almost like a "Clovis Second" concept.

Very interesting!

Pendejo Cave in New Mexico, excavated by Scotty MacNeish, needs to be reinvestigated, since it contains human friction prints and human hair, with radiocarbon dates going back 37,000 years.
