I finally read 1491 and it just reinforced my concerns that we are underestimating the boat building skills of our ancestors.

The making and using of stone tools leave a lot of refuse that shows up in the archaeological record. If hominids keep showing up in places only accessible by boat or Olympic class swimming then are we simply missing the evidence of the enabling technologies?
