   While I don't claim to know when (or from where) the first humans turned up in   
   North America - and there's a lot to be said for that 50,000 year timeframe, I   
   do have to take exception to your comment that Chief Wahoo was found in "the   
   Queen City Sand (   
   Eocene) Formation outcrop". The Eocene (the second of the Cenozoic Epochs)   
   dated from 55.8 MILLION years ago and lasted for nearly Twenty-Two Million   
   years, until some 33.9 Million Years ago.
