Yep Morgan: the people who say that (and I'm surprised they moved it, it was supposed to be 6,500 or so), aren't well respected by the scientific community, nor are they part of it. You can find that 'finding' in a lot of places, and I'm sure you'll have no problem finding it. I can't imagine what, at this point, would prove that. The oldest remains of settlements are fully twice that old.
Anatomically modern human remains have been found that date around 1 million years ago. They'll likely discredit carbon dating (from what I've seen), but they will also have to discredit potassium-argon dating and others if they've done their homework.
