like I said before....show me the bones! (and date and dna test 'em too) have you read about Kennewick man?

Kennewick Man - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

pretty controversial among the local tribes.....

Don't know if it mentions it but also research tilgman island in the Chesapeake bay. It challenges the known theory. Still alot out there to discover. Still waiting on my paleo

 

[rock]

What I posted says these sites were older than Paleo. I found it interesting on the tools and points they made and how they made them.

Clovis First is about as antiquated as the points it pushes.

I really loved when the "Ice Man" Otzi was found and really messed with the "established" time line for "copper tool" manufacture.

The more we learn, the less, it seems, we know.

Good read, Rock. Thanks

Thanks rock this is a good read, I still have a problem with ties to Siberia the tools used in Siberia abound the same time are nothing like the ones found here. Most tools in Siberia was made by putting flint chips in a bone or stick to give them a sharp or cutting edge. The tools here are entirely made from stone. Then there is the problem with all routes from Alaska to what is now the U.S. being shut off by glaciers miles thick during the time when Siberians would have to get here. So be it Clovis or pre-Clovis there are still holes in the story and more will come to light!

BTW the closest match to Clovis tools found in other parts of the world was in France...go figure!

dna speaks volumes.... Solutrean points do look similar...the way a kangaroo looks like a deer....similar....

Solutrean - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

there is no dna from the earliest Americans that support European migration and plenty that does back up Asian. While I too never much cared for the "ice free corridor" concept , the idea of coastal migration along a vanished coast (due to rising sea levels) seemed obvious to me even as a child.

Hey I'm not disputing DNA evidence that's for people that are smarter than me and get paid a lot more than me to argue over it. I'm only saying that there is a gap in the tools that were used in Siberia and the ones used here. I agree that a costal rout may be the key, at the end of the last ice age the sea levels would have been much lower than it is now! But then why are the oldest sites known in the us on the eastern seaboard? I'm only saying we don't know everything...

I have always heard the this side of the USA was once connected to Africa. At least that is what Georgia said in one of their shows. Georgia Outdoors
I do watch tv at times.

lol I am a very active person but when I get tired I watch TV. I usually record all my shows and then fast forward through the commercials. I hate commercials.

Me too rock. I also loathe most tv...especially this reality crap - surviving, dancing, idols, hillbillies doing something (which I hate more for obvious reasons), etc. I watch it one hour or less each week at best and its usually educational.

i have to admit...I'm am aware of the invention called "tv" and have upon occasion glanced at it when my wife or child is watching something but ...the stories these days are so puerile and foolish (not to mention reality...as if, reality, bah) that I literally cannot sit through a whole half hour.

you guys should LOVE this...last night my wife was watching something (actually she keeps it on as background noise) and a promo came on for a new reality show...something like "mountain men" or some such nonsense.....I heat my house with wood that I fall, section and split myself, as I am sure a lot of you do...so anyway this grizzled old buzzard with a bushy white beard is shown swinging an axe at a (looks like) 4 year old cut and dried-out-to-the-bone round, to make it split ....well first of all as I am sure you who split a lot know...you split green wood, not that crap...but the real thing that got my goat was, here he is....an experienced "mountain man" and he is using a double bit felling axe to split with....I nearly choked....

There are people in my family that hunt gators by walking through the swamp till the fall in the gator hole the straddle it and pat thier hand on the water and when the gator comes up to take a look the hit it between the eyes with an ax. I dont like to take part in it but I always did miss out on getting a cool nick name like lefty!
