HOW LONG HAS MAN LIVED IN N.&S. AMERICA??????????????

[Frankn]

WELL YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED. The Archies had a theory based on the land bridge theory. The Clovis were thought to be the oldest here, app. 13,000 years. A mastodon skeleton was AMS dated (accelerated mass spectrometry) to 2,000 OLDER than Clovis. The interesting thing was that there was a projectile point lodged in it's rib. This was in Manis Washington. The AMS test is more accurate than a radiocarbon test. Oh, the point was carved from a mastodon bone. OK, you point hunters, you are going to have to go deeper, lol Frank

Yousum must be a believer of that so called evolution nonsense!! You know the earth isn't that old!!

I'll go with "C" Alex, "What is a long, long time?"

look up the topper dig in south carolina on google

There is some evidence that man first entered North America around 40,000 years ago. The problem with the Clovis point and the 12,000 to 14,000 year estimate is where the first dated points were found. That estimate does not take into consideration that Man did not instantly migrate to New Mexico upon crossing the land bridge. It took time. I believe it will eventually be 'proven' to be somewhere arund 20,000 years. Personally, I have no idea and it does not really matter to me. We are here. I am far more concerned with Today and Tomorrow than I am yesterday. It is what it is. We are where we are. Deal with it.

The problem with the Adam&Eve theory in the Bible is the inbreeding factor. Maybe , just maybe, Man came into being in more than one area and there was no constant migration. Has this theory ever been considered? Frank

It has. Believe me there are many, many, many many many many issues with literal interpretation - almost goes without saying. But them again there are still people who believe the earth is flat and sun revolves around the moon. I don't think there is absolutely any rational scientist who would agree with that "theory".

They are busting our chops for just picking up an arrowhead. I agree add another 2 to 4 thousand years and look to the east not the west. I think we can learn from the past what our futures may hold but pay attention to today,lol

Yeah, the latest Smithsonian magazine is saying that Clovis are new comers. Of course that and Nat'l Geo are secular liberal bibles. I'm not going to argue religion, but the same scientists that are trying to tell us that humans are the cause of the climate warming are also trying to make another unprovable theory into fact, and I don't buy it. In college I was an aggie, and had evolution and genetics forced on me, and those boys couldn't come up with proof then, so I'm thinking there is little chance of someone coming up with it here. Here's a radical thought that's just as provable as what the scientists are coming up with -- lets say humans were created perfect and lived long, disease free lives, and it was sin that caused the humans to devolve. Shucks, it just might be that monkeys evolved from really sinful humans. How did mankind populate N. and S. America? I don't think the grant seeking scientists have a clue, they come up with theories where the money is found. If you were to believe Darwin, perhaps the first humans arrived hanging by their tails in the branches of floating trees. Don't mind me, it's late and I'm tired. Earth signing off.

It takes hundreds if not thousands of years for people to migrate from Asia to North America and then to South america. They went where the animals were, if they had an ample of food supply why leave an are unless the population gets to large were people have to leave to find untouched land. There is DNA evidence that Asian sailors found South America way before Columbus was born. I am also a believer in Vikings finding the "New World" as well.

The world and everything in it, on it, and beyond it were actually created 15 minutes ago. Everything you know and believe you have experienced is nothing more than the imprint of imagination.

Well, there's PAN... LEMURIA... ATLANTIS... VERY old, indeed!

How about the theory that life is like a movie film. We live day to day just dancing in the light of the projector. The future is already in the can. Frank

 

[bill from lachine]

Frankn,

I tend to agree that there were pockets of what would be considered very early man at various locales....there's a skeletal remains they found somewhere in Africa that I believe might be oldest man type remains found....another I seem to recall in a cave in France also....quite recently they found an intact body in the Himalayan mountains.....

So doubt if it was a single genus from which we all sprung......heck we have a hard enough time sorting out all the details of what went on during WW11 and that's recent history.

Here is a very interesting theory, a little long winded but quite probable.

wouldn't surprise me if about 225 million years ago

they built these walls here in PA to hold back the push of the Ice age

Remember hearing at one point that the bible never blatantly states that adam and eve were the ONLY ones created. This also goes with the fact that when cain was exiled he had a mark so that the OTHERS would recognize him as the murderer that he was. Cain and able being the direct descendants of adam and eve mean that there had to have been other people. Now after the ark I have no idea

 

[G.I.B.]

The answer depends on when you consider the humanoid made the transition into man. (and it wouldn't have happened quickly either)

I think there was just a great show genetically tracking sweet potatoes throughout the pacific again proposing that Polynesians had reached South America. They were probably one of the most advanced sailing / exploring cultures of all time. Did you catch that show?
