I did not know they had evidence of Homo Erectus or other early man so far north as Siberia.

I'm a follower of Stefan, but he gives short shrift to the Cerutti mastodon evidence. 

 

I appreciate his skeptical nature. I'm not knowledgeable enough to render a decision on the Cerutti mastodon evidence, but lean towards its authenticity.

I concur. Which considering its well over 100,000 years old?

 

It’s a profound find. And most likely not the work of our own species.

Yes, I think there were archaic human species that reached the New World, too.  Here is possibly an archaic human footprint from Kansas:

Pre-Clovis? Not so fast.

Interesting discussion regarding whether the Monte Verde site, in Chile, is truly Pre-Clovis.

 

Monte Verde is a linchpin site in the Pre-Clovis theory debate. The video author interviews a paleoarchaeologist who has submitted new research disputing the accepted age of the human artifacts found at Monte Verde.

I think this is also a lynchpin to the pre Clovis hypothesis.
