@Toastie I did several stories about pre-Clovis sites and found many researchers open to the evidence. There are certainly old, curmudgeonly Clovis-firsters who will never change but you've maybe heard the adage about how scientific dogma advances....one death at a time.

Schools have long taught that humans populated North America around 12K yrs ago by crossing the Bering land bridge.@Toastie I appreciate you writing this. One of my thoughts is that my science journalism colleagues have been leaning on Clovis-first as a storytelling crutch for about...oh 30 years. Meaning it's very easy to repeat: "Archaeologists have long held that humans first arrived in the Americas 12,000 years ago, but new finds challenge that..."
There's so much pre-Clovis evidence now that it's time to retire that line. And I think younger archaeologists are more in tune with your view. 1/2

When you stand up, your blood pressure drops and your heart rate soars to compensate. I have POTS among my many diagnoses. It can be mild and treated with medication but is incurable and I am very curious if he'll be able to continue his career.
POTS is often post-viral. Severity varies. At my worst I couldn't be upright for more than about 10 seconds.
