On the science/palaeontology front...

Spear tip in mastodon bone points to earlier human arrival in North America

A NEW analysis of ancient mastodon bones found in Washington state is adding to growing speculation that humans arrived in North America before the Clovis people, once believed to be the first inhabitants of the continent 13,000 years ago.

I suspect as we learn more, this date will be pushed back further.
