So those were man-made? Interesting!
There were civilizations LONG before 10,000 years ago in S.A.
Look at google maps, and zoom in. You can clearly see the former waterways that were created all over the southern part of the continent.
They look very ancient, but are clearly visible- and do not look natural.
Look for the “Eye of Africa’ - ANOTHER structure that scientists cannot explain as anything other than man-made, and if you zoom out it looks as if the whole area was washed away in a flood. (Atlantis?)
Sounds like a good location for “Naked and Afraid” to be shot.
Amazonia would be an attractive place to settle during the Younger Dryas. Head South, young man!
“You call it ‘corn’, but we call it, ‘maze’”
Are these time lines credible? I always thought the people of Asia could have come as late as 2000 BC over the land bridge and then massed into 50 million or so by the time Cortez arrived. Does the 12,000 year time table preclude the land bridge theory?
Plant domestication is merely a process of human selection of consecutively larger or more desirable seeds or fruit.
I read a study that showed a complete domestication of a Mideast wild wheat field in 200 years (i.e. converting to human-selected grain that yielded larger seeds and kept them in the pod for predictable harvest). I think the study was predicated upon sedentary population, which would be possible in the tropical savannas of Bolivia.
So my question is why wouldn’t these plants have been domesticated and farmed? I suspect so much more of that was going on around the world. I’d even consider North American Indians management of oak forests as a form of farming.
