I donno why, really, but the wanderings of the native populations in North America is one of the least interesting topics for me. Perhaps it's because they were so totally eclipsed by the coming of the Europeans after Colombus that the whole topic of pre-Colombian societies here is essentially unimportant, except to a few specialists in such matter. Perhaps I'm wearing blinders, but I regard virtually everything that happened in North America before the American Revolution to be unimportant. At least to me.

Perhaps I'm wearing blinders, but I regard virtually everything that happened in North America before the American Revolution to be unimportant. At least to me.

I find it interesting for a few reasons:

1. Humans apparently get here within a few thousand years of the Pleistocene extinction. I'm curious about how that dynamic went down.

2. Did the Megalith cultures of the New World have contact with those of the Old, or some common source culture?

3. Politics. If the first New World humans were European, then none of the three remnant linguistic/genetic groups of Asiatic stock gets to claim "Native American" status any more than me, as a native Californian. Peaceful "Native Americans" in harmony with nature bs will be dealt another blow.

4. We can finally uncover the truth behind the Mysterious Dinosaurs of Acambaro.

What about the evolution of horses, camels, and rhinos?
