Our understanding of our history continues to expand. Some years ago, our understanding of our ancestry was vastly more limited than today and, I would suggest, our future understanding of our ancestry will be vastly more complicated than even today.I would suggest that in the future, we will find that humanoid species living in the Americas will be far older than currently accepted. And, perhaps, even new sub species.
