Yes there is. In fact, there are signs of early cultivation to the south in what is now Israel, the 23,000 year old Ohalo 2 site at the southern shore of the Sea of Gallilee.
I find this interesting. For the most part I've approached this at looking at Hancock's claims of a global civilization 10-12K years ago wiped out in the Younger Dryas. From everything I've read there is no evidence of this...just claims it can't be proven there wasn't. The debate pretty much put that to rest for me once it seemed clear there would be some evidence still left.
Does the same hold true if you go back another 10K, 20K, 50K years or more? I would doubt it but can't rule it out because I haven't really looked into that.
Could there have been a completely different dominant species even millions ago that we are not descended from (Anunnaki for example or the lizard people)? I don't think I can 100% rule it out. But there is evidence from the dinosaurs and dating back over 100 million years. There is evidence of an iridium layer from 65 million years ago that shows the impact of the dinosaur killing comet. There are many other things that would survive millions of years from our age...fossils, pollution, radiation, the English channel, subway tunnels, mines and much more.
It seems to me that if reptiles leave evidence behind for over 100 million years then a civilization that manipulated their environment would leave some sort of evidence we could find today. Does that mean it's absolutely impossible? No. But you need a lot more than the absence of evidence to prove something was there. I really want to believe but don't subscribe to the god of the gaps argument.

quote:Okay, here's my lizard people conspiracy theory. 65 million years ago, an asteroid hit the earth and devastated the planet. A massive dust cloud covered the earth and blocked out the sun while filling the air with poisonous fumes. This forced some creatures to go underground where they stayed and continued to develop over the course of 65 million years, eventually becoming the 'lizard people' we know today. These are the beings that Adm. Byrd encountered in the mysterious flight chronicled in his lost diary, which is totally real and not some 1950's frat star prank.

BTW, the first person to conceive of 'lizard people' was the troubled writer Robert Howard, whose 'serpent men' were shape shifting (a trait that has survived in modern folklore) usurpers of power who assumed the identity of rulers they murdered. They were part of his Kull stories, before he invented Conan.
