Everything everywhere is built on someone’s grave.

Also, humans have been in the Americas for far more than ten thousand years, which is itself a small amount of time compared to how long humans have been present elsewhere in the world.

Not much longer! 14,000 by some estimates. Just gave a ballpark number but sure, more than that.

Depends on where in the Americas you’re talking about. I’ve seen estimates up to 50k years ago for human presence in Beringia, presumably the first humans to make the trek from Asia.

Much of the evidence is probably underwater now though.

I like that!

The entire world, other than Antarctica, is a human graveyard, and the American continents have been inhabited for less time than most of the rest.
