In Brazil, there are archeological sites dating from 48,000 BC in the Northeast Region. The pre-historical people that lived in palaphits on the lakes of the "Baixada" Region of Maranhão State, plus the "Seven Cities" and "Capivara Mountain" Historical National Parks in the State of Piaui and "Lagoa Santa" in the State of Minas Gerais, are widely recognized presences of ancient men in Brazil much earlier than the North American sites. There are new thesis that men first came to the American from Africa to the Northeast cost of Brazil. And not from Asia through the Behring Strait or through the Pascoa Island in the Pacific. I think it is quite possible that we were in the Americas eight million years ago - why not ?

Alleged discovery of 3 to 8 million-year-old woodworking tools in North America stretches credultity beyond the breaking point. Archeologists are beginning to accept the possibility that there were humans in the western hemisphere as early as 50 thousand years ago, but even this is still controversial. The Clovis culture of approximately 10,500 BC is the earliest on which there is broad concensus. Even in Africa, the most primitive Olduwan stone tools are only 2.5 million years old or so.
