I remember visiting LA’s La Brea tarpits as a kid.

The sassy tour guide, talked about the animals found in the tar, but also mentioned the human skeletons found there, with arrow or knife wounds.

He then said: “So as you can see, Los Angeles hasn’t changed much in 10,000 years”

How many arrowheads?

If more than one, maybe it was suicide.

This embedded arrowhead offers the first unambiguous evidence of a violent encounter.

Or a hunting accident.

The Democrat [Nationalizing-Socialsm] Party, a bedrock of racism, forbears all turf wars . . . except WHITE <— a deplorable “color” . . . until a Democrat finds itself at the mercy of the consequences of the Democrat’s rhetoric and voting history.

Such Democrat Color Revolutions are that party’s foreign and domestic policy and “blood sport” <— claimed to be “mostly peaceful” but proven otherwise.

Hunting accident. An ancestor of Dick Cheney, no doubt.

“unambiguous evidence of a violent encounter”

He was such a good kid and was getting his life back on track and was an aspiring rapper.

This is a shock to some people? Just because the combatants aren’t using AK47s, doesn’t mean people did not fight over food, women, and children.

Human beings are nasty creatures. We’ve been domesticated.

Prehistoric dating problems: "I found the perfect arrowhead… stuck in my rib. Guess my 'love' life was a bit more piercing than I expected!"

If ancient humans held a courtroom for this, it would be the first case of “Arrowful Intent.”

Archaeologists uncovered the ultimate ancient breakup message: “This is not working out — literally.”

Turns out, early highland community meetings weren’t just debates, they were pointedly violent discussions.

Imagine explaining that injury at the prehistoric doctor's office: “Doc, I tripped over a stone…actually, it stabbed me.”

The real takeaway? Humans have been throwing shade — and arrows — at each other for millennia.

Early humans putting the "point" in interpersonal conflict since 2000 BCE.

Wanna hear the oldest joke discovered? It’s about a wife who’s been blind in one eye for 20 years, and the husband only just noticed — talk about selective vision! Seems like blame and marital disputes go way back too

Arrow to the rib? Sounds like a prehistoric way of saying, Let's not spear your feelings too hard!

Why assume it was violence. Could have been an accident.
