I love that there's been enough research into the past that things like the behavioral habits of animals long gone are well known.
Only if you don't agree with the definition of vehicle.
Hopefully they have enough funding to keep doing what they're doing.
Not that I'm likely to ever know, but that is probably what it felt like to be on the moon. It's only missing the black sky and 1/6 gravity.

Why not just “Evidence of 22,000 year old travois…”
The headline could have been evidence of a 22000 year old wheelbarrow like vehicle but I guess that was a mouthful. “Vehicle” is fine.
The article suggests that people riding in (or on, perhaps) was a common use for the vehicle.
A device or structure for transporting persons or things; a conveyance.
"a space vehicle.""Space vehicle discovered in national park. It was just sitting there under the sand. There was even an alien inside; he was like, `yolo, been hidin'`."
But I want to talk about how much free headspace Graham Hancock has managed to acquire. I thought about him the moment I saw this title. I'm sure some of you came to the comments looking for his name too.
hancock makes you stupid.
I expect most wouldn't have the familiarity required to have that specific mental image, but perhaps something equally primitive? It is not like they would think there was a 22,000-year-old Lamborghini.
The top article on HN right now is in the same situation: "Why Tap a Wheel of Cheese?" What kind of cheese? Parmigiano Reggiano, it turns out. For the sake of the headline, did it really matter what kind of cheese, though? Not really. Cheese is fine.
And vehicle is a perfectly fine word to describe what it is without getting too deep into jargon as well. What would you have selected instead?
I question why you, and so many others here, are so hung up the use of the word vehicle. Even if you weren't aware of the usage of drag type vehicles in the early Americas, you would at least envision something like a wagon, right? Or do you automatically assume vehicle is only self-propelled things like modern cars?
