:') It would be pretty odd if the largest river in the world didn't sprout at least one major civilization, as was the case with the other great river systems.

Good point. And, as we know, ancient farmers were pretty darn good at figuring out what it would take to cultivate their land, as in Mesopotamia, among others.

Many have fought this battle against the ruling authoritarian regime for years. Some of these brave political dissidents were jailed for their beliefs...

;-) From the link you cited...

"Roosevelt says her mother, an artist with a strong interest in Southwestern American Indian antiquities, gets the credit for inspiring her to pursue archaeology and adventure. Since the age of 9, Roosevelt says, she has known exactly what she wanted to do with her life."

"It was lucky that all the men had died before I began growing up," she says, "so I could grow up in a matriarchy and know that it was perfectly fine for women to run everything and have men be the decoration. So that helped me form my personality and therefore have success. Because I never had any sense that I had to be meek and mild and put myself behind someone else."

I am not surprised that humans have been in the Americas for eons. I believe the first one came around 50,000 to 60,000 years ago.
