...the GPS data for South American data show that South America and Africa were joined between 87,000 and 2,000 years ago... I can't vouch for the source - or the detail...Doesn't look good to me, but I'm just a meatball anyway. :')
When were the americas peopled?

just found his CV.
Africa and South America split 120 million years ago. They have been moving apart at the same speed your fingernails grow ever since.
OH S**T where that come from ROFL
Do Palaeogeographic Data support the Expanding Earth Hypothesis?

THE question of the contraction, stability or expansion of the Earth during geological time is one of the basic problems of the geosciences.

methinks the question might still be open...?
Not for me...120 million years works just fine, lol.
"Absolutely fascinating, blam. If I keep up with these posts, I may eventually understand something about all of this. Between this and Kennewiick man, it seems there was something that went on in human history that we know almost nothing about."

There are also records / remains of tall caucasions who lived in the area of western China.

Add that to your growing list of weirdness....LOL
I will. Thanks.
At 13,000 years, how does this compare with old skeletons from the Old World?
"Image: JOHN GURCHE PORTRAIT OF A PIONEER With a brain half the size of a modern one and a brow reminiscent of Homo habilis, this hominid is one of the most primitive members of our genus on record. Paleoartist John Gurche reconstructed this 1.75-million-year-old explorer from a nearly complete teenage H. erectus skull and associated mandible found in Dmanisi in the Republic of Georgia. The background figures derive from two partial crania recovered at the site."
Earliest European Modern Human Found
"A research team co-directed by Erik Trinkaus, professor of anthropology at Washington University in St. Louis, has dated a human jawbone from a Romanian bear hibernation cave to between 34,000 and 36,000 years ago. That makes it the earliest known modern human fossil in Europe. "
There are New World monkeys, but no New World apes except us. I understand that the oldest Old World signs, cave paintings and cave art items, may be 70,000 years old. It would be interesting if something like that is found in the New World, but what about that 200,000 year old stuff in California?
Yeah, that is about right. The cave art mostly seems to have begun about 40,000 years ago, although a 70,000 year old site may have been found. Before that, nothing, except California.
Calico: A 200,000 Year Old Site In The Ameicas?
I'll guess they were Homo-Erectus?
Art?
An 80,000 year old necklace was found with the 'Hobbits' in Indonesia. The Jury is till out on who they were/are.
The link is gone. The site is a mystery. Or maybe it isn't a mystery until a full professor discovers that it is a mystery. In any case there is no evidence of New World apes except us, no ancestors.
Is 80,000 years old the oldest in the Old World? That would give them time to migrate from California.
Do they all drive cars adorned by fish with feet to mock Christians? I think they need to study human migration before they write the evolution story. The whole "science" seems backwards.
