New discoveries from several archaeological sites in North and South America suggest that ancient people first arrived in the New World much earlier than scientists once thought.

Sorry, disproven? As far as I am aware(layman), the claims have only been disproven by evidence pushing it further back.
One of the chief problems I am aware of is that the places they inhabited and the coastal path they likely took is now under a considerable amount of ocean.
That and the Americas have changed quite a bit since those ancient times. Even mild environmental shifts can cause a shit tonne of damage to evidence, and if their population was spread out and small enough said evidence couldve been sparce already.
