The Americas' Oldest Most Complete Human Skeleton | National Geographic
May 15, 2014--- The skeleton of a teenage girl who lived during the last ice age has been determined to be the oldest most complete human skeleton ever discovered in the New World. Researchers expect that the 12,000- to 13,000-year-old remains, found in an underwater cave in 2007, will increase our understanding of the Americas' first people, and establish a definitive link between earliest Americans and modern Native Americans.
