If Watson's Brake dates are correct humans were in the lower Continental North America at the time of The Garden of Eden. This would be 3000 years or more before humans were supposed to have migrated here through Siberia and the Arctic Circle.

  1. The site's been dated to about 3400 BCE.  Clovis peoples, originally thought the earliest humans in the New World and the ones who crossed the Bering Straight, arrived somewhere around 9,000 BCE.  There are some sites that may predate that.  I don't see any problems here.

    Watson Brake is, apparently, the earliest mound site, at least according to the website listed below.  It says that the site's almost 2,000 years older than the previously-assumed oldest mound site, Poverty Point.  That's not a big problem, really.  "Oldest" in archaeology often just means "oldest we've found so far", and there's no real reason that earlier peoples couldn't have built mounds.  What, exactly, do you mean by how it changed anthropological thinking?


  2. Time of the garden of Eden???? Rethink and repost.
