This paragraph, in this really interesting article, is expressing my own sentiment better than I would.
While some archaeologists might suggest ‘this is how science works’, it also shows that science regularly gets it wrong, often due to rigid power structures and resistance to new theories. And Hancock takes full advantage of this criticism, by covering the controversial ‘Cerutti mastodon’ discovery which would push human presence in the Americas back by roughly 100,000 years!
