Already there before the land bridge people arrived!

The X-Files movie (the first one) started strong for me -- in North Texas, 35,000 BC , Neandertal hunters wandering through a snowstorm.

What an odd way to mention Adovasio. He was a professor at Mercyhurst and hasn’t been at Pitt for many years (didn’t leave under happy circumstances). I’ve never met him but I did take a tour of Meadowcroft rock shelter.

BTW - IMO Meadowcroft’s artifacts might be evidence of non-homo sapiens in ancient America (maybe Homo erectus?). The stone tools are very crude.

His book on the various crises of what paases for precolumbian north American archaeology is well worth reading.

It’s worth a look. All the standard theories involve Homo sapiens only. I’d guess he’s no different.

I'll bet he has some great stories. Right now is a good time for Precolumbian archeology. The hard sciences are intruding hard, especially genetics.

He's a bit too much of a SJW sometimes, for my taste, but he's on the right end of some things, like archaeology involving perishable materials. Even when cloth and baskets and such decay away, they can leave their imprint.

He wouldn't be the guy to lead that particular charge, but what he's done will help that when it comes. Which it will, if the fossils are found.

Civ; I keep wondering whether the Younger Dryas had a devastating effect on the peopling of North America.

When I look at the age of certain discoveries in Mexico with VERY old artifacts and the devastation that was reeked on North America maybe there something buried that we have yet to discover.

You’re just anti-American Indian, aren’t you? /sarc

I am SO sick and tired of my more liberal acquaintances who say that we Americans should go back to Europe, etc. because we took over this country from the Indians. Well, the Indians took this country over from someone before them. it’s happened for all of time, and will, until Jesus returns and the new Millennial Kingdom.

/sorry, just ranting. Insert old man yells at cloud.jpg

LOL.

I have a standard rebuttal to the politically correct “indigenous people” argument...

“Outside of southern and central Africa, every country in the world is a Nation of Immigrants."
