Dr Silvia Gonzalez, who led the team ofresearchers,said the findings would help rewrite the history books,andprofessor Huddart said, Our findings support the theory thatthesefirst colonists may perhaps have arrived by water rather thanonfoot using the Pacific coast migration route.
这张英国伯恩茅斯大学7月4日公布的照片上的足印，被认为是4万年前的人类留下的。它是在墨西哥城东南130公里处的普埃布拉市附近，被利物浦约翰·摩尔大学的西尔维娅·冈萨雷斯领导的一支科研小组发现的。冈萨雷斯说，这一发现将颠覆传统理论。而科研小组的胡达尔特教授则说：“我们的发现表明，首批移民可能是沿着太平洋海岸通过水路来到美洲的，而非步行。”（来源：长沙晚报）
