    What you're saying makes absolutely NO sense, so I'll restate it. The Eocene   
   Period was about 50,000,000 years ago. You state that the relics were   
   discovered in a formation that is about 50,000 years ago. That would make it   
   from the Pleistocene Epoch [2.   
   588MYA - 11.7 TYA]. That is all I was trying to state. Too many people are   
   trying to state that humanity began far earlier than scientific evidence shows.   
   As far as when did the first humans settle North America, I have read of some   
   evidence showing that it COULD (not accepted by science) have been as early as   
   100,000 years ago, based on some stone tools found in a Mexican creek bed.
