23. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Dr. Claudia Marsicano, Vertebrate Paleontologist, University of Buenos Aires:
"I think that this discovery, the interesting thing about it, is that it is like another grain of sand, yes, in a way, to build a new hypothesis about the early settlement of America."

25. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Dr. Claudia Marsicano, Vertebrate Paleontologist, University of Buenos Aires:
"We have data from the United States, there is data from Mexico, from the north of Brazil. But the settlement came from the north. In other words, the better and older the data is and from places further south, the more likely it is that settlement had to have started much earlier. And this one from the guys (from Mariano del Papa and crew), precisely this one from the province of Buenos Aires, is telling you about practically 21,000 years ago.”
