Question

Which of the following statements FALSELY characterizes native populations in the Americas prior to contact with Europeans?

Answer 1

It is false to say that the earliest humans in North America are the Clovis peoples, so named because they hunted woolly mammoths with stone spearheads.

There was a point when scientists believed that the earliest humans in North America were the Clovis people. This was however disproven with the discovery of earlier settlements in places like:

• Paisley, Oregon
• Cactus Hill, Virginia, US
• Monte Verde, Chile  
• Saltville, Virginia, US  
• Taima-Taima, Venezuela and many more

Scientists therefore changed their stance and now believe that there were earlier people in North America than the Clovis.
