East Coast US indigenous people "probably" had direct contact with southwest indigenous people 4k years ago. It's really cool to see this proven, but by now we really should assume that people traveled unless proven otherwise. sciencenews.org/article/island…
Something that regularly frustrates me is the assumption that ancient people didn't travel/trade. It's not just a cultural thing, it's biology. Humans evolved as exhaustion hunters. Long, steady, unaided distance travel is literally in our DNA.
To assume that ancient humans didn't use that skill to travel, explore, and communicate with other humans is silly. Even moreso in the face of ever growing evidence that basically every ancient group did.
