Until recently, archaeologists agreed humans reached America only 13,000 years ago.

But one of the most respected scientists in the world claimed that number was wrong - by over 100,000 years!

This is Calico, in the California desert, where Louis Leakey – arguably the most influential paleoanthropologist in the world – was convinced he'd found human-made tools - that were MUCH older than they should have been.

But his evidence was dismissed... the site was written off... and the entire field turned on him.

So was Calico rejected because the evidence failed... or because archaeology wasn’t ready for what it would rewrite?
