the Indians killed off the original horses(yum)....the spanish reintroduced them.

[Robert A Cook PE]

I don't see what the 'emotional" fervor is about.

They're never really established any evidence for anything older than 12,000 years old - this only debates whether relatively close to Clovis were 13,000 - 13,500 or 14,000 years old.

The entire continent was crossed east-west regularly by families on foot in 9 months. Pretending that families (equally on foot!) could NOT cross equally hard terrain going north-south (only three times as far, with the weather getting better the farther south they go!) in 1000, 2000, or 3000 years is foolish.

Impossible. Everyone knows that the Indians were the perfect noble savages and selfless stewards of all wildlife and the environment. Overhunting and gluttony would never occur to them. /sarc

"the Indians killed off the original horses"

of course you have absolute proof of this, right? Public school, right?

Of course they were "horsoids" then, not Secretariat.
