New Discoveries Force Scientists to Revisit the Settling of America

America was settled A VERY LONG TIME AGO.

…We’ve been taught that North and South America were empty of humans until around 13,000 years ago — amongst the last great landmasses on earth to have been settled by our ancestors.

But new discoveries have radically reshaped this long-established picture and we know now that the Americas were first peopled more than 130,000 years ago — many tens of thousands of years before human settlements became established elsewhere.

“America Before” by Graham Hancock

(Excerpt) Was an advanced civilization lost to history in the global cataclysm that ended the last Ice Age? Graham Hancock, the internationally bestselling author, has made it his life’s work to find out — and in America Before, he draws on the latest archaeological and DNA evidence to bring his quest to a stunning conclusion.

I highly recommend Graham Hancock’s provocative book for every history, archeology and student of humanity.

After you read it, you may also believe that our history books need some serious updating!

About the Author

Believing that school was too boring, he dropped out of High School early; only to earn an AA, BS and MBA in less than 4 years much later in life — while working full-time as a Navy/Marine Corps Medic.

In spite of a fear of heights and deep water, he performed high altitude, free-fall parachute jumps and hazardous diving ops in deep, open ocean water.

After 24 years of active duty, he retired in Asia.

Since then, he’s been a full-time, single papa and actively pursuing his varied passions (Writing, Disruptive Technology, Computer Science and Cryptocurrency — plus more hobbies too boring or bizarre for most folk).

He lives on an island paradise with his teenage daughter, log term girlfriend and two dogs.
