Note: The following is based on my understanding of chapters two and three of "The Destruction of Black Civilization" (1987) by historian Chancellor Williams. I want a summary that I can look back at later. Chancellor Williams divides the Nile Valley into: Lower Egypt - the Nile Delta, north of Memphis and the great pyramids.… Via Community Village Sites

What broke the 130,000-year-old mastodon bones in California? Most archaeologists would tell you it couldn't have been humans, who didn't leave conclusive evidence of their presence in the Americas until about 14,000 years ago. But a small group of experts now says that the fracture patterns on the bones, found during highway construction near San Diego, must have been left by humans pounding them with stones, also found nearby. If correct, the paper, published this week in Nature , would push back the presence of people in the Americas by more than 100,000 years—to a time when modern humans supposedly had not even expanded out of Africa to Europe or Asia. But many other archaeologists say it will take much stronger evidence to convince them that the bones were fractured by ancient people.
