3. 'Arlington Springs Man.'

In 1959, Phil C. Orr found three human bones sticking out of a sidewall of Arlington Canyon on Santa Rosa Island near Los Angeles, California. A team of archaeologists dated the bones to be over 13,000-years-old. Phil happened to find, up until that point, the oldest human remains in North America. This discovery was about more than just finding old bones, it actually helped prove that early humans could build boats and travel down the coast of California from Alaska.
