The first Native Americans

The Clovis have long been regarded as the tribeindigenous oldest in the American continent. A theory that has been refuted countless times by various investigations, which have provided new data on the existence of a group primitive that inhabited that region, long before the Clovis.

The latest study published by the journal Science questions this hypothesis again. The tip of a spear found in the rib of a mastodon, which is no more and no less than 13,800 years old, suggests that the hunters who killed this animal inhabited the region about a thousand years before the Clovis.

The spearhead that has opened all this debate was discovered near Manis, in Washington. Yet another proof that ancient civilizations have been around North America for much longer than was originally thought. A find that has been received with great enthusiasm by Native Americans.

In addition to this spear, there are other sites that suggest that indigenous tribes prior to the Clovis had killed with their gadgets to mastodons

Y mammoths. There is no doubt that we are facing a historical fact, since the Clovis tribe had been considered an ancestral civilization, from which all those of North America come.

Another conclusion that he draws from the study is that the hunting of this type of animal extends over a much longer period than was initially believed. Although it is still too early to say that humans were the culprit in ending the existence of this animal species, everything seems to indicate that it was. In spite of everything, more tests and investigations will be necessary to prove it.
