I find it very strange that hominins started in East Africa, spread to the rest of Africa, spread to Europe, spread all over Asia, yet stopped at Beringia and didn't continue on to the Americas. The Cerutti mastodon team say that the reason more evidence of this hasn't been found is that archaeologists aren't looking in areas that old, yet shouldn't this evidence have been accidentally discovered by now (like how the CM site was accidentally discovered during construction work)?>With regard to the apparent lack of evidence of other archaeological sites of Marine Isotope Stage 5 age, we reiterate that North American archaeologists do not routinely survey deposits of this age, do not recognize sites of this age as archaeological, and therefore do not find them. A paleontological crew discovered the CM site. Likewise, the Folsom site was discovered by a paleontological crew in 1926 (Figgins 1927; Meltzer 2006). Archaeologists at the time were not interested in Pleistocene deposits because the prevailing opinion was that humans had not arrived in the Americas this early
