Sinkhole discovery in Florida... - Twitchin Kitten - 05-16-2016
This is some really interesting stuff. I like this kind of discovery / archeology / history stuff
Sinkhole discovery suggests humans were in Florida 14,500 years ago <-- clicky

I was never really sold on the Bering Strait land bridge theory.
Well at least not that it was the primary and until now ONLY way humans arrived here.
The thought that people may have sailed to the Americas was never really considered seriously before but then how would you explain the Polynesian island populations? It's reasonable to think that humans navigated to the middle Pacific islands and then some struck out ever more eastward until they reached the Pacific continental coastline.
For that matter, what's to say that they didn't come in across the Atlantic blown by the same wind currents that push hurricanes?
How they spread from there is open to many theories and proof or disproof of any are subject to finding artifacts that can be dated and those dates correlated.
Pretty cool though that they found the variety of bones and tools in such a concentration.

Yeah, I follow Kathy Reichs on FB and she posted that link. She comes up with some really cool stuff she shares.
For those who don't know, Kathy Reichs is the person Temperance Brennan is based upon in the TV show Bones and the book series (books and TV Brennan are two completely different personalities. I like book Brennan better).
