追加: 2026-05-16

[00:00:00]Canada's oldest settlement is 11,000 years old. Archaeologists [music] found continuous human occupation on a Canadian island dating back 11,000 years.

[00:00:10]>> [music] >> Triquet Island sits off British Columbia's coast. Standard migration theory said humans crossed the Bering land bridge around 14,000 years ago, then slowly moved south through an ice-free corridor. The timeline suggested coastal settlements came much later, but the carbon dating tells a different story. This coastal village was thriving while I still covered inland routes. The settlement includes fish hooks, spears, [music] and fire pits that prove humans traveled by sea, not land. Indigenous oral histories claiming 14,000 years of coastal presence just got archaeological proof.
