Response to Comment by Poinar et al. on “DNA from Pre-Clovis Human Coprolites in Oregon, North America”
Abstract
The arguments of Poinar et al . neither challenge our conclusions nor would contribute to the verification of our data. We counter their questions about the authenticity of our ancient DNA results and the reliability of the radiocarbon data and stand by the conclusion that our data provide strong evidence of pre-Clovis Native Americans.
