I would not put any stock in this except that Milo Rossi (Miniminuteman) is an archaeologist who specializes in debunking bad archaeology made a video saying it wasn't complete nonsense, but apparently there is a site which, if proven to show what it seems to show, would indicate that some sort of pre-homo sapiens hominid was in North America 130,000 years ago.

This is extremely preliminary, so it's one of those "stay tuned" sort of things, but wouldn't that be incredible? We know that Homo Erectus spread all the way to the Eastern end of China and north into Siberia, so it's not absolutely impossible that it happened.
