Lets move 'clovis first' to 'falsified theories' to declutter this lemma[edit]

The whole article reads like a giant edit war. This war has now ended. The clovis-first party lost. Lets save the little dignity they have left by moving their falsified thesis to its own lemma where the erroneous reasoning can be discussed in detail. --89.12.98.65 (talk) 89.12.98.65 (talk) 22:02, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Human footprint fossils at White Sands[edit]

Research article: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adh5007 provides new information regarding the age of fossil human footprints at White Sands National Park in New Mexico, USA. The new information supports earlier estimates that the footprints were made 21,000 to 23,000 years ago whereas this Wikipedia article claims a more recent date of the earliest arrivals of humans to the continent. 199.48.94.70 (talk) 02:46, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The last two paragraphs of Peopling of the Americas#Evidence for pre-LGM human presence seems to address this. Richard-of-Earth (talk) 06:34, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for considering my comment and pointing out the article paragraphs. If the following two sentences of the article's introduction are still true (I am doubtful), then I agree that my comment is already addressed. If they are not true, the sentences should be changed. "Academics generally believe that humans reached North America south of the Laurentide Ice Sheet at some point between 15,000 and 20,000 years ago." "Some new controversial archaeological evidence suggests the possibility that human arrival in the Americas may have occurred prior to the Last Glacial Maximum more than 20,000 years ago." 199.48.94.70 (talk) 15:12, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
