30,000 years? I just googled it and it said 15,000 years.

It's in dispute. The figures are being revised and rethought. It's a hot potato. There are people wedded to older dates and vice versa.

You know, I never finished reading '1491,' but I may have to resume it. This is neat information you're sharing. :)

I get what you're saying, but my guess is 'Old World' originated from immigrants coming over to America.
