Archaeologists Unearthed Human DNA in Oregon That Changes Human Origins Forever

Archaeologists Unearthed Human DNA in Oregon That Changes Human Origins Forever

A dry cave in Oregon held something that quietly upended the accepted story of when humans first reached the Americas, and in this deep dive you'll follow the real evidence for yourself. We start with ancient human DNA pulled from the Paisley Caves, then climb through a stack of discoveries that each push the timeline further back: stone tools sealed beneath datable volcanic ash, human footprints frozen at the peak of the last ice age, and a 130,000-year-old site in California that scientists still argue over today. You'll learn how these dates were actually tested, why they held up against fierce pushback, and the surprising idea that the first Americans may have arrived by boat instead of on foot. Come find out what the textbooks left out.
