In 1932, archaeologist Edgar B. Howard made a major discovery near the town of Clovis, New Mexico.
He found a stone spear point embedded in the rib of a woolly mammoth, which inspired what became known as the Clovis First Theory.
According to this theory, the creators of these spear points, known as the Clovis people, were the first to settle the Americas about 13,000 years ago.
Archaeologists accepted this for decades, but new discoveries have put the theory into question.
Learn more about the Clovis First hypothesis and how it is being challenged on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
