43. A Brief History Of The FIRST Ancient Humans From America | A Day In History

The Americans have long been thought to be the latecomers to the habituation of modern humans. But what if that wasn’t true, and humans were in North and South America tens of thousands of years before we thought they were. What kind of lives did they lead, where did they come from, where did they go, why aren’t they still here? These are huge questions and maybe we will find some answers as we trace history back as far as we can go. About 13 thousand years ago in the fossil record, there appears a series of archaeological evidence pointing toward a culture that existed in North America, Central America, and even into South America. This culture was largely identified due to the type of spearhead point used in hunting, this specific type of spearhead became known as a Clovis Point, named for a town near the initial discovery. First found in the 1930’s, the Clovis became the prevalent contenders for the first humans to come to the Americas. It was thought that before the Clovis there were no humans, or any previous branch of our evolutionary tree, on either the North or South American continents. This theory became so popular it was thought fact, and became eventually known as the Clovisfirst hypothesis. #clovisfirst #ancienthumans #history #grahamhancock #firsthumans #iceage #clovisfirstdebunkedScriptwriter: Marco PardoVoiceover Artist: Stephen Lewis: stephenvox.comMusic: Motionarray.com Sources: https://shrib.com/#Jad7ppm4EATimecode:00:00 Intro01:04 The Clovis First Hypothesis02:16 The Clovis Conundrum 03:56 The Plausible05:46 The “Are You Sure About That?”Copyright © 2021 A Day In History.
