Evidence for Humans at White Sands National Park during the Last Glacial Maximum Could Actually be for Clovis People ∼13,000 Years Ago

C. Vance Haynes

Summary: This essay provides a critique on the dating and site-formation processes of the ancient footprints reported by M.R. Bennett et al. in Science, and proposes an alternative hypothesis suggesting their relation to Clovis rather than pre-Clovis humans.

Evidence of humans in North America during the Last Glacial Maximum

Matthew R. Bennett et al.

Summary: Researchers excavated in White Sands National Park in New Mexico, United States, and discovered in situ human footprints dating back to approximately 23,000 to 21,000 years ago, confirming human presence in North America during the Last Glacial Maximum. This evidence adds to the understanding of the antiquity of human colonization of the Americas and extends the temporal range for the coexistence of early inhabitants and Pleistocene megafauna.

Lake levels and trackways: An alternative model to explain the timing of human-megafauna trackway intersections, Tularosa Basin, New Mexico

David M. Rachal et al.

Summary: The margins of Paleolake Otero in southern New Mexico contain a large concentration of Late Pleistocene fossilized megafauna trackways, suggesting regular interaction between prehistoric humans and giant animals. A new paleoclimate record from the lake's western margin demonstrates that the lake underwent six developmental phases at the end of the last Ice Age, showing a dynamic shoreline. Complications in the timing of human-megafauna trackway intersections have led to the proposal of an alternative model in which human trackways are not contemporaneous with megafauna trackways, but reflect humans crossing over much older surfaces.
