Eve of Naharon

Eve of Naharon

Eve of Naharon (Spanish: "Eva de Naharon") is a female skeleton found in an underwater cave in Mexico near the town of Tulum, around 80 miles south west of Cancún. The skeleton is notable for being carbon dated to 13,600 years old and has bone structure that is more consistent with that of the people from Southern Asia than to the people of Northern Asia. This calls into question the time line and geographic origins in the current theory of New World settlement by peoples from Northern Asia.
