y'all probably already read this ....

....But it also seems to put to rest alternative theories about the peopling of the Americas, such as the Solutrean hypothesis, which posits that the first Americans arrived by sea from Europe, hugging the coastal ice caps that once bridged the Atlantic Ocean.

Yeah, that was a major discovery for sure. Not certain it finished that theory, though...

Its just a mans theory. I believe we have been on this earth much longer than anybody knows. And that is just another theory, nobody knows for sure.

Genetic testing can be a valuable tool in researching the past of our ancestors, but it does have limitations. Genetic testing uses the DNA of existing peoples and compares that to people of the past and look for similarities. The problem with this is that we can only look at people from the past that we find viable samples for. If Younger Dryas eliminated an estimated 90% of the human DNA in North America like some theorists believe, then DNA genomic testing will have serious limitations. People of Solutrean decent would most likely only inhabit the eastern United States and would have been in the 90% that perished. I've seen enough evidence to believe that multiple migrations occurred from both the East and West coasts. The Pre-Clovis peoples of the Eastern U.S. were most likely of Solutrean decent.

I have a few tanged European style points. Moccasin Bend Arch Society said they don't match any paleo culture around this area (SE Tennessee) but they didn't want to verify due to their credibility??
