The tip of the Manis spear has been estimated to be around 13,900 yearsSLOTXOold, presumably attached to the tip of a spear or weapon in a similar manner. It is used in the first human group to live in the area of North America. which is expected to be even older than the Clovis people, who lived in prehistoric times and were referred to as "Mammoth Hunter"

originally believed Clovis people They were the first humans to arrive on both continents of the Americas and spread their culture far and wide. to various areas, but later there began to be more and more evidence that there should have been other human groups that lived in the Americas before that


Michael Waters, a professor of anthropology at Texas A&M University, said in a press release. This spearhead piece was important in the sense that It is the first and only animal bone tool to be found so far. Older than the Clovis culture, which indicates that humans inhabited the early American continent.
