Further evidence points to footprints in New Mexico being the oldest sign of humans in Americas

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:56:21 GMT

By CHRISTINA LARSON (AP Science Writer)New research confirms that fossil human footprints in New Mexico are likely the oldest direct evidence of human presence in the Americas, a finding that upends what many archaeologists thought they knew about when our ancestors arrived in the New World.The footprints were discovered at the edge of an ancient lakebed in White Sands National Park and date back to between 21,000 and 23,000 years ago, according to research published Thursday in the journal Science.The estimated age of the footprints was first reported in Science in 2021, but some researchers raised concerns about the dates. Questions focused on whether seeds of aquatic plants used for the original dating may have absorbed ancient carbon from the lake — which could, in theory, throw off radiocarbon dating by thousands of years.The new study presents two additional lines of evidence for the older date range. It uses two entirely different materials found at the site, ancient c...
