* When Humboldt was touring this southern area, he recorded that there were two types of people. One was tall and slim and wore a lot of clothes, the other was short and fat and wore few clothes

* There is a recently discovered skeleton on one of the California Islands that will predate Luzia in age, I think she has been named, 'Arlington Springs Woman.'

If you don't like, stay the hell off my threads then!!

This stuff makes me dizzy. When are the scientists ever going to get on the same page for more than a month or two?

[Porterville]

Relax it no reflection on you what I feel about an article. It is just an article after all.

[blam]

Excuse me then. I'm just getting tired of my threads being hijacked by the Creationists, I thought that was where you were headed.

"NOOOOOOOO POOFTERS!!!"

The more we find, the less we know. But, it is fun too see cenvention turned upside down.

[umgud]

convention, not cenvention

It just that the Aboriginees sailing to Brazil 12,000 years ago and wind up as a not so technological society, is a stretch. If the Olmecs, Aztecs, Incas, Mayans, Anasazi, etc. etc. are decendents of Aboriginal Australians, would it not make sense that Aboriginals be a little more sophisticated than their history suggest???

And isn't it a little convenient to just say they were killed off by the Asian tribes???

University of Sao Paolo, Brazil, first Americans, where??? Brazil or adjacent to Argentina...Prime location of civilization of the American cultures. It is called bragging rights. For countries like Brazil, if you can't be first bend the rules to fit your Carnival.

does it ever end????

Why should it? I think the mobility of the ancient man has been severely underestimated by the modern man.

It's not a competition, is just an interest in unraveling the truth of the past and that takes time.

I may be way off base here, but isn't archeology a relatively "new" science. Prior to the last one hundred years it seems like it's just been grave robbing.

It's just another piece of the complicated puzzle of the settling of the Americas. Which I believe was done by people from all continents over many thousands of years ocassionally interrupted by world affecting catastrophic events.

[Porterville]

It isn't a little suspicious that a Brazilian anthtopologist is trying to prove the first people in the Americas were in Brazil or adjacent nations???

". . . my threads"

In more than five years here, I have never before seen that.

Now, "my web site", I've seen that. Of course, he owns the place.

Spirit Cave Man Is the oldest mummy ever found in the Americas. He died in his mid-40's, 9,400 years ago in Nevada. Still had all his clothes and his shoes on when found.

Some believe he is from the same human group as Kennewick Man, Buhl Woman and many un-named others.
