Could Humans Have Made it to North America 130,000 Years Ago?

Exactly when and how the first people populated the final continental frontiers of North and South America has been a subject of debate for more than a century. While there is consensus that human beings were present in the Americas around 15,000 years ago - some experts now believe estimates of our arrival may be off. Around 100,000 years off.
