Respuesta :

It is false to say that the earliest humans in North America are the Clovis peoples, so named because they hunted woolly mammoths with stone spearheads.

There was a point when scientists believed that the earliest humans in North America were the Clovis people. This was however disproven with the discovery of earlier settlements in places like:

  • Paisley, Oregon
  • Cactus Hill, Virginia, US
  • Monte Verde, Chile  
  • Saltville, Virginia, US  
  • Taima-Taima, Venezuela and many more

Scientists therefore changed their stance and now believe that there were earlier people in North America than the Clovis.
