http://www.wired.com/2016/05/geology-breaking-apart-americas-came-together/ I love it when new theories pop up to rewrite a bit of history,and change the evolution migration points.

Why? Nobody knows what the geological qualities of the earth were like prior to that for sure. And, we can't find "ancient pottery" that we can date accurately beyond about 5,000 years ago. Even Gobekli Tepe has been dated according to "best efforts," which could as easily be way off.
Political science has drummed the idea of millions and billions of years into us. But there is no for sure hard facts, and little evidence that cannot be interpreted as a short time span at the same time as long. 8) Title: Re: Land connected Panama and South America as far back as 10 million years ago Post by: gentlemand on May 12, 2016, 10:22:25 PM I was having a stroll somewhere today and it was signposted that it was once south of the equator. These days it's 3500 miles north of it. People should take more time to drink in the long view.
