Dear Anon,

As far as I can find Luzia is either the oldest or second oldest, both within a thousand or two thousand years of each other...

But I personally am guessing it is only a matter of time; I did find this quite fascinating provocative sentence for example:

"Charcoal, a chipped stone stool and scraps of food found recently, however, have been dated at 40,000 years old...

You found a fascinating video about the genetic evidence they traveled down the Americas...I learned good things

That series of videos (which you located) taught me a lot, too. that you cannot rely on the morphology so much, because bone structure changes so much over time. Genetics apparently better
