摘要: Radiocarbon dates for the terminal Pleistocene are about 2,000 years too young. Furthermore, because of significant carbon perturbations that manifest as plateaus or abrupt jumps in age, radiocarbon ca. 12,500 to 10,000 B.P [ 14 C] must be critically evaluated, The first successful human colonization Americas occurred not 11,500 but 13,500 ago. This basic chronological revision has important implications models Paleoindian colonization, population expansion, and genetic linguistic divergence.
