It's the first I've read of evidence of human activity 100's of thousands of years ago in the Western Hemispere. I have certainly heard of a lot more human civilization here than is commonly taught when I grew up, the Mound Builders being an obvious example.

I've always known that "history" has been largely white-washed. It's nice to see some alternative hypotheses being presented that respect the traditional and oral histories of the indigenous peoples.
