00:00Imagine driving a bulldozer on a routine construction job in Montana and suddenly hitting a piece
00:06of history that shifts everything we know about ancient America. That is exactly what happened
00:13in 1968. Workers accidentally dug up the ANZIC site Clovis Burial Ground ever found in North
00:20America. Inside this ancient grave, archaeologists found the fragile bones of a young child.
00:26Buried alongside the infant were beautiful antler tools and Clovis hair points, all dusted with a
00:33brilliant red powder called okra. But almost immediately, a massive mystery divided the
00:38scientific world. Every test suggested the child's bones were much younger than the tools. For decades,
00:44many experts argued that the burial was just a coincidence, claiming the child had absolutely
00:50nothing to do with the Clovis people. That all changed when scientists used advanced radiocarbon
00:57dating to crack the case. The new results prove that the child and the artifacts were buried at
01:04the exact same time, somewhere between 12,725 and 12,900 years ago. This means the little child was
01:14officially part of the Clovis culture and elusive Ice Age people famous for crafting these distinctive
01:21finely grooved stone spear points across North America. But the story gets even bigger when researchers
01:27looked at the child's DNA. They found a powerful genetic link to modern Native American population alive
01:35today. It was the missing puzzle piece proving a direct ancestry and helping us understand who these
01:42Ice Age travelers really were. Over 12,000 years ago, a grieving family carefully laid this child to rest
01:49in Montana. Today, that quiet burial stands as one of our most important windows into the very first
01:56chapter of human history in America. Clovis people fashioned their stone spear tips with grooves or fluted
02:03bases. They invented the Clovis point, a spear-shaped weapon made of stone that is found in Texas,
02:10and other portions of the United States and northern Mexico, and these weapons were used to hunt animals.
02:18The researchers say the finding will also help geneticists in their estimates of the timing of the
02:24peeping of the Americas because the intrinsic genome is critical to understanding early settlements and the
02:31origin of modern native peoples.
02:33That's a really good place to know when people who want to get fired from our heads.
02:33And what's the most important point, the original characterization of the craft for the
02:33field in the world...
02:33to the field, their bodies to الت and the field of the field of power, that's the most important
