I am sharing with you this important medical article called "Influence of the Climates of Peru on Tuberculosis (Pulmonary Consumption is the historical term), written by Dr. Archibald Smith, in 1856, almost 200 years ago.

Interesting.

In the 1970s, the discovery of ancient stone tools at Monte Verde, Chile, overturned long-held assumptions about when humans first arrived in the Americas. Now, a new study challenges the accepted age of the site, arguing that ancient floodwaters could have shifted organic matter and skewed the timeline—though some experts are already pushing back on the claim.
