In 2012, O’Grady’s team found camel teeth fragments under a layer of volcanic ash..

He thinks that maybe next year he'll be guessing people's weight, or barking for the Yak woman.

Stolen land! Give it back!

Those aren’t camel bones.

They are kangaroo bones.

Ancient Americans had domesticated kangaroos.

They used them to hunt grouse.

[PIF]

Yep there were and lot of other animals that no longer exist.

They need reparations from who took their land!!

[ealgeone]

Climate change no doubt!

[PIF]

The animals were not “hunted to extinction”; they and every other mega fauna worldwide died out at the same time due to a 100 year long comet fragment bombardment with burned off 4% of the Earth’s vegetation.

The bombardment was principally centered on the Laurentide Ice Sheet which left no craters in the ground below the 2 mile think ice sheet.

The only remnants are in the Carolinas and Nebraska depressions from the falling ice chunks.

Hey, when you go around hunting and eating camels, it’s bound to make you, uh, jumpy.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks. One of the locally famous on-air jocks passed not long ago. He was massive fan of and collector of music, and when Jan Jan Akkerman & Thijs Van Leer: Focus came out in 1985 (a sort of comeback/reunion album) the jock said Focus had been his favorite band until “the Camel album came out”.

“Stolen land! Give it back!”

LOL...spot-on!!

[Bob Ireland]

***Were there any native camels in North America at the time?***

The only evidence that I found is that they invented Camel cigarettes...

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Yep, they DO blame the extinction of the camels in North America on climate change. It warmed up after the last glacial period.

[going hot]

Using safety cones and a couple sawhorses was a great advancement.

[Bonemaker]

Not too many humans left in Oregon...mostly democrats.

[bgill]

Archelogy writings hardly ever show images. Strange.

[gundog]

Yes. There would have been mastodon in this area, as well.

[gundog]

Carnelian? That would be pretty cool.
