OK, you know how the Buffyverse has the occasional reference to Very Old Things in California, predating any known Native American settlement?

Scientists find evidence of possible human activity in San Diego 130 000 years ago

The fact that they may have been Denisovans just adds to the synchronicity.

Interesting article!

Interesting, and vertigo-inducing. I have trouble enough remembering last week, I can hardly even imagine one hundred thirty thousand years ago...

Ooh, interesting.

And obviously these early settlers were wiped out by demons.

Or sabre-tooth tigers. Which may add up to the same thing. :) At any rate, it doesn't seem likely that they survived long. Or maybe they just did like the vikings when they discovered America and said "Screw this, let's go home. Too many damn hippies."

Okay, my mind is pretty much blown. It always is when I think of all the incredible obstacles overcome by those who predate us. I have trouble making it to the store some days — and these people did it all without coffee! *shakes head*

Super cool link, dude.

IKR? I mean, I might understand it if they'd found them in Newfoundland or Brazil... But if freaking Neanderthals made it across the Pacific, there's nothing we as a species genus can't do.
