    I'm taking a chance here pointing this out but you were off by a factor of   
   100. The Eocene was 50,000,000 years ago, not 50,000. Okay, that said, why   
   didn't this make the news headlines  when it happened?

   If they had bronze tools 52,000 years ago, why did they go back to stone   
   almost 20,000 years later? BTW, most all of Beringia is under water, where   
   were these tools found?
