Oh no.... golly you mean as folks moved back and forth across territory, they fought with each other???? Who would have ever guessed that?

Sometimes as interesting as the data is, the modern studiers just seem to be so thrilled with their obvious conclusions. Our taxpayers dollars went for these studies

[SunkenCiv]

My tax dollars helped build the internet, which ordinarily I consider a good thing.

[SunkenCiv]

off the subject, I really like that reflection text in the FReepathon post.

[Nifster]

and your tax dollars support the military.....

not even comparing fruits let alone things that might be similar

[SunkenCiv]

Oh great, now I have to throw out my theory, which was that it was originally the home of a guy named Semmitee, and people stopping by to see him would holler, “Yo, Semmitee!”.

:’) Thanks married21.

:”D

Thanks SL, I can’t prove it, but I *may* actually have that title around, I seem to remember buying it used in great condition at one of the big local (non-chain) bookstores.

That’s why this was in the excerpt, shows how attitudes have begun to shift off the ideological crap-basket that is the academic leftist bias:

> “Many people still seem to think that prehistoric California was a violence-free paradise, but the archaeological record shows clearly that that was not the case,” he said in an interview.

[SunkenCiv]

Yeah, they’d have run him right out of town, or maybe just cut him into chutney on some stone temple.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks, great posts!

[SunkenCiv]

;’) If they wanted to hang out, they had to take someone out, (cocaine).

[RedMDer]

Thanks. I think I used cooltext.com

That was my point, this idea isn't the result of academic bias. The idea is perpetuated somewhere else, my guess being the media and movies. They won't care what academics say about it because that's not a narrative they want to drive.

[SunkenCiv]

Really, we shouldn’t be surprised I suppose. Hmm, maybe this whole article is just a stealthy attempt to lower our threshold of tolerance.

most of us believe that an inclination to resort to violence in certain situations is part of the human condition.”....How much money did they get for this realization? Animals is animals, that’s why we call them animals.

I grew up in Contra Costa County. The local naitives were peace loving fishermen that traded shells. Oh and they ate acorns. At least that is what the story was back in the day. I wonder where they found the stone dart at.

Is that a spine?

[editor-surveyor]

That specimen wasn’t Chumash, it was Costanoan.

[Safetgiver]

does this help explain the violence of the youth gangs?...Actually, the idea of tribalism explains it.
