"Dating of the ornaments and sediment at the Brazil site where they were found point to an age of 25,000 to 27,000 years ago..."
The good old days.
Tasted like chicken.
So that’s what happened to the megafauna, they were all turned into jewelry.
The Clovis point also proves that Europeans pre dated American indians.
it has become obvious to me over my lifetime that the Americas were discovered by Polynesians to the south, Europeans to the North East and Asians to the North West.
These groups which arrived at different times eventually merged and mated creating the Native populations of the Americas. The North American plains indians were very different from the central and south American indians because these groups had mixed some with ancient europeans.
Well, that explains why there are no more Giant Sloths................
Musta been some mighty humongous pendants.
Prolly only wooly mammoths could wear them.
“Pendants made from giant sloths suggest earlier arrival of people in the Americas”
Or alternatively, it suggests that the giant sloths went extinct much more recently than scientists have speculated. Which is probably the correct viewpoint, since the same type of large-scale extinction events of megafauna happened just about everywhere else in the world as well, and we know in those cases it coincided with mass migrations of humans into those areas. So it should probably be the default assumption that the megafauna extinction in the Americas happened for the same reasons.
