I don’t know what to tell ya, Varda. The concept that alternative theories to Clovis first were pushed in academia or those who did were accepted by the establishment has been gone for “many decades” just isn’t reflected by reality. This is well known. I was a student in the space and worked on multiple Clovis sites as part of my major towards the end of this period. I don’t have much else to say about it

As long as one doesn’t look at the human footprints in the same sediment layer as the dinosaur tracks, that might hold true.

Maybe that’s the difference in perspective. I’m in Adovasio’s territory and his advocacy was a ticket to a lot of power. Not many would have been given a department in another university after being kicked out of Pitt.

The river bottom below my house in Western NC has a mix of points and potsherds in it that are anywhere from 1,000 to 5,000 years old. I’ve found flint objects that came from 100 miles away and another stone type that comes from 200 miles away. These folks traveled and traded over wide distances.

Definitely makes sense that seafaring people could have whipped down the Pacific coast of North America very, very rapidly using the small islands as secure settlements for fishing & re-fitting. Heck they could have gotten clear down to Tierra del Fuego.

“no amount evidence supporting the Solutrean culture coming to the USA first would ever be accepted”

Scientists at the National Museum of Natural History forbid the discussion of Solutrean culture coming to North America.

I believe some came from across the Atlantic Ocean. Think about Vinland...

I am a firm believer in multi timeline waves and multi path migration. There was an expansion from the South also. Not talked about much, and covered up, is that the most common place to find Clovis points is around the San Pedro River Valley in Az. I am sure they came up through Central America to the North before they came from the north to the South.

From Europe. Read the Wikipedia page, it’s actually fascinating.

There are other ancient cultures who had knowledge of planets unseen yet. The dogon, the Sumerians, and they are finding others. So it is not beyond possible.
