• Resumen

  • The earliest Americans migrated quickly but were less quick to wipe out their prey. The picture is painted by finds from the bottom of a watery Florida sinkhole 9 meters deep, including 14,500-year-old stone tools and the remains of a butchered mastodon, a type of prehistoric elephant. Having arrived on the Pacific coast at least 15,500 years ago, these first settlers must have rapidly spread east and south to occupy vast swathes of North America, the discoveries suggest.
