Welcome
I'm Dr. Rebecca Torres, an independent paleoanthropologist dedicated to rigorous investigation of archaeological evidence that challenges conventional timelines of human migration and species dispersal. After spending a decade in academia, I left institutional research in 2022 to pursue questions that mainstream archaeology prefers to ignore.
This site documents my research into anomalous human remains, unexplained archaeological sites, and evidence suggesting that our understanding of early human history may need substantial revision. My work follows the evidence wherever it leads—even when that path diverges from accepted narratives.

Extended Field Work: Antarctic Research Project
I'm pleased to announce that I've been invited to participate in an extended Antarctic research project. While I can't share specific details due to confidentiality agreements, this represents a unique opportunity to apply paleoanthropological methodologies in an extreme environment. Updates will be limited during the field work period, but I look forward to sharing what I can upon my return...
The Problem with Consensus: Why Archaeology Needs Independent Voices
Academic consensus can be a powerful force for establishing truth—but it can also become a barrier to investigating evidence that doesn't fit established models. In this post, I discuss why independent research, free from institutional pressure, is essential for challenging orthodoxy and advancing our understanding of human prehistory...
Dating Anomalies in South American Sites
Recent radiometric dating results from several South American archaeological sites continue to challenge the Clovis-first model of human migration to the Americas. When we examine the evidence objectively, patterns emerge that suggest human presence in the Americas far earlier than conventional timelines acknowledge...
