So.... Some rocks fell on a Mastadon so humans showed up earlier? Either find human fossils that old or shut up. This is a case of someone trying to fit evidence to a theory rather than fitting a theory to evidence.

Here's more from the article on how Dave Meltzer (no relation to professional wrestling journalist) takes it -

To some who study American prehistory, this interpretation of the Cerutti site beggars belief. Meltzer called the claim “grandiose.” Donald Grayson, a paleoanthropologist at the University of Washington, noted that history is rife with examples of scientists misinterpreting strange markings on stone as evidence of human activity. He pointed to the Calico Hills site in the Mojave Desert, which the archaeologist Louis Leakey believed contained 200,000-year-old stone tools. Subsequent studies have largely discredited Leakey's claim — the apparent tools were most likely “geofacts,” natural stone formations that only look like they were crafted by humans.
