Original: 13,000-year-old butchered bones of found in Chile give more evidence of early first Americans
Archaeologists in Chile have uncovered 13,000-year-old butchered animal bones, offering new evidence that humans were present in South America far earlier than once believed. The cut marks on the remains suggest early peoples hunted or scavenged there, adding to a growing body of finds that challenge the traditional timeline of when the first Americans arrived and how quickly they spread across the continent.
Why now: The find challenges long-held timelines for when humans first reached the Americas, a persistently debated question in archaeology.
