Wouldn’t that be something for conditions to exist where they could be held accountable for the ruin they are causing.

Those are obviously not the ones who claim to have “always been here” then? Which was the concept you put forth and I was responding to. Did I misunderstand what you first stated? Because this is a whole different ball of wax here...

I'm not sure why you fail to understand things and blow things all out of proportion.

...where glacial ice was all you had.

I used to sport fish out of Valdez, Alaska. When we got into the Columbia Glacier ice fields we would grab some floating glacier ice for the cooler. It kept the beer and bait cold much longer than man-made ice!

I am simply replying back to you, you who approached us first, concerning what you stated. Did I read this wrong? Or did you actually mean something other than what it reads? If you actually meant something other than what you said then I stand corrected.

“Those who claim “they” have always been here, that their ancestors were made in the Americas, and didn’t come from anywhere else.”

My experience too. Light blue ice. Hard as a rock. Like you said. Floating around

My favorite was the chunks of clear ice. It was hard as a rock and would last at least 4 days in the cooler. I always figured that the clear ice was formed under the most pressure. The white or blue pieces never lasted as long.

I doubt the doomsday glacial melt junkies account for these factors.

Re: 10,000 year old Pesse canoe

I should have specified sea worthy water craft that could have carried food, tools, and other life necessities.

Re: Flores Island has 800,000 year old artifacts

The earliest known humans in Africa date from 200,000 years ago, so Flores Island must have a WAY bigger mystery than what happened to the missing boat.

Disagreements abound. :^)

Canoes are seaworthy, and the only thing they had to carry was the occupants with their skills. It wasn’t a pleasure trip.

Earliest known humans at 200K ago is and always has been British-born out-of-Africa nonsense.

My comment was specifically about the Pesse canoe, which has about three inches of free board and would have flooded and capsized in the north Pacific Ocean within one day.

Also, a Bering Strait explorer would need hunting and dressing tools, wood and fire tools, bedding, shelter from wind, rain, and carnivorous animals, a fresh water container, etc.

Finally, multiple studies have established a clear genetic link between northeast Asia and the earliest known tribes in North America.
