CNN is reporting an archaeological dig in South Carolina that has discovered flint stone tools in conjunction with burned plant material radio carbon dated at 50,000 years ago.  This would put the date at which the Americas were populated back another 30,000 years, which would be before the last ice age where a land bridge across the Bering Strait was available.

Makes the tree of human life a bit more leafy.
