Looks like Prof. Guidon doesn't play around:'At her home on the grounds of a museum she founded to focus on the discoveries in Serra da Capivara, she said she believed that humans had reached these plateaus even earlier, around 100,000 years ago, and might have come not overland from Asia but by boat from Africa.'
Prevailing scientific theory that is beyond debate is shown to be wrong yet again.
But, Patron Saint of African evolution, L S B Leakey, said stone tools in the Americas were 125000 years old!
No one there believed him but no one challenged him either.
Some guy at the Daily Beast wrote an article that was a mixture of Leftist ideology and science claiming recent genetic tests proved the Clovis theory is true. He ridiculed the theory that the proto-Europeans Solutrean came before the Clovie Era was the works of racists. Looks like that guy needs to go back to his piece with this new information.
” orgiastic scenes of prehistoric revelry”
Proving that porn has always been popular.
” Stuart Fiedel, an archaeologist with the Louis Berger Group, an environmental consulting company, said that monkeys might have made the tools instead of humans.”
Impossible! There were no Democrats back then.
This sentiment has probably been echoed by every generation of men approaching codger-hood, but it seems to me that people are becoming increasingly ignorant as the years and decades roll by. Yet when people, paid writers no less, ignore the crutches technology provides to hide their lack of a genuine education we enter the realms of laziness and stupidity.
Prevailing scientific consensus is generally the result of biased people working according to non-scientific methods.
I never did buy the ‘Land Bridge’ theory.
I bet humans came from all directions and modes of transport to settle in new lands.
Across the north and south Atlantic in boats, rafts etc.
The could have come by foot when the northern hemisphere was frozen under a mile of ice......................
I was at Red Rock Canyon outside Las Vegas yesterday and they have some rock art that is only about a thousand years old. It is still very interesting to see the hand prints on the walls of the rock and imagining these people’s carving out a life in the desert. The geology of the area is very fascinating as well. Thanks for the post!
“Monkeys, including large extinct forms, have been in South America for 35 million years,” Dr. Fiedel said. He added that the Clovis model was recently bolstered by new DNA analysis ancestrally connecting indigenous peoples in Central and South America to a boy from the Clovis culture whose 12,700-year-old remains were found in 1968 at a site in Montana.’
The only monkeying around here are by those die-hards who persist in believing that humans could never have appeared here prior to Clovis when overwhelming evidence indicates they populated the rest of the workd well before the Clovis date.
I like this lady. She’s got moxie. No Clovis groupie is gonna push her around.
