From what decade? If it's the late 50's or early 60's then I probably know you.

Evidence be damned, right?

I don't think the "evidence" is the problem here but rather the assumptive projections foisted upon the evidence and stated as fact.

The year 1997 saw another break through, albeit indirect, for acceptance of pre-Clovis man in the Americas

By the time the ivy league academicians get around to adjusting their doctrines of human pre-history:

We will have captured and bred bigfoot

Chupacabra will be a plush childrens toy

Martha Stewart will be in world wide syndication .

Anthopologists are the worst of the worst when it comes to doctrinaire lethargy.

Well, you know, the horse originated in North America, as did the rhinoceros and migrated elsewhere from North America, later becoming extinct in N.A. and continuing on in Asia and Africa, respectively.

The horse was reintroduced in quite "contemporary" times which is why they're then a more current presence on the continents of North and South America.

So, just as to possibility, it's possible that homo sapiens originated in North America/South America, too and migrated outward, and also became extinct in the Americas until later ongoing migrations.

It's POSSIBLE, is all I'm saying. Perhaps the discoveries as to early homo sapiens in Africa were LATER or even parallel to same in the Americas, but the evidence hasn't (yeet) been found as to activity in North/South America.

I'm just saying, it's POSSIBLE. There were likely far more arrivals, disappearances, and arrivals again to and from North/South America by humans and not limited to a few arrivals only.

I just want to add here, for the sake of conversation, that customarily Caucasian, "white" people can and do become quite "red" in skin color after prolonged exposure to the sun, particularly in the middle of North America. I've seen it happen to nearly all male Swedes, for instance, after they've farmed many years.

However, brown hair will turn far more blond in prolonged sun exposure unless there is a head covering worn, in which case brown hair turns darker.

Just saying, could be...that the "red" man is "red" because the lifestyles are mostly, predominantly outside for full day-hours. "Red" is what happens to the skin if you're initially Caucasian (other than people like me who are redhaired and nearly opaquely white skinned, in which case we just burn and stay colorless).

Calico ghost town. It's owned by Knotts Berry Farm. Its an old ghost town that has had several unsuccessful attempts to make it popular and profitable.

I would bet the finds are a hoax, to drum up business.

Great post and great articles and responses. I have to bookmark this fascinating stuff.

If "modern" man managed to get to Australia possibly 60,000 years ago http://cogweb.ucla.edu/ep/Mungo_Man.html
it is inconceivable to me that modern man didn't manage to reach the Americas well before Clovis.

I think Clovis Man was responsible for the extinction of the Ice Age Megafauna, but there must have been eons of existance of "modern" man and the megafauna together before Clovis technology and the human population density reached the point it could accomplish this.

Mungo Man has been redated to 48,000 years. But, I still think people got to Australia 60k years ago and possibly earlier.

They found an 80k YO well-worn shell necklace with the 'Hobbits' on Flores Island. BTW, Flores Island was an island during the entire Ice Age. That means the 'Hobbits' survived the Toba near-extinction event 74,000 years ago.

LOL. Calico was there (and known for its artifacts) long before there was a Knotts Berry Farm.

It would be really need if there were solid evidence of human inhabitation of North America 200,000 years ago. It would be even neater if someone could find a Free Republic thread that old and revive it.

I have often been told that I look and act like a Neanderthal. I can therefore make a valid claim that I am a descendant of these true first Americans and that your people are late comers, invaders who stole my people's land from me.

I want reparations!!

Can I get comp'd at some tribes casino?

Please Note: all of the above is satire - though I have no directly traceable lineage to any of the Nations now known as "Native Americans," my mother was raised in the Nations and I grew up with great love and respect for those cultures (though I'm not willing to buy that "one with nature" crap).

I visited Calico, as a ghost town, long before Knotts ever owned it. When I did, it was an actual defunct town and not an attempt tourist trap.

Also, notice from the article that nothing of human origin was found. I don't deny that there is rich history there, but I suspect that some are trying to make that dustbowl more popular by creating an archeology interest there.

I'm not buying it.
