Unpopular opinion: the 24,000 year old footprints at White Sands bug me more than they should
I read a Science paper from 2021 saying seeds found in the same layers dated to 21,000 to 23,000 years ago, which would push people into North America way earlier than the old 13,000 year Clovis number. What gets me is that some researchers still argue the seeds could have moved between layers, so it feels like a fight about dirt as much as it's a fight about history. Did anyone here actually follow how that debate got settled, or is it still going?

Wait, so it's still not settled?
