It's pretty obvious now, modern man has totally underestimated early man. But we remain so sactimonious. That's down right silly.I think it relates to the Darwinian assumption that the most recent form of something is the most advanced.
Anyone who considers what might remain of current human culture should there be a major bottle necking event (near ELE) would postulate that the truth is far more complex. Extrapolate the behaviours of different subgroups of even Americans now, isolated for a few hundred to a thousand years, and I think the results would vary widely in terms of cultural retention, development, and technological level, and perhaps even survival as a discrete population, due to intermingling or extinction.

Even an egalitarian culture can have homicides. All the motivations present in modern humans, jealousy, envy, greed, anger, and more still applied. Human nature is human nature, pretty much whenever.

Ice age cultures would have largely settled in coastal areas, just as our populations tend to be distributed now. Sea level rise would have put those cultural remains under water, for the most part, at the bottom of drowned river valleys (now tidal estuaries) and on the Continental shelf.
The remains we find from that period are those inland dwellers and those along flowing rivers above the fall line and on what would have been high ground during the Ice Ages. If population distribution was then as it is now, most remains would be under water, but the 'flyover country' remains would survive, if they have not been obliterated by more recent construction--which is entirely likely because those same sites (river confluences, large lakes) would appeal to modern man as a place to live, trade, and prosper.
The trick is to find places where there were desirable inland sites during the Ice Age which are no longer as desirable now, due to changing geomorphology or otherwise. That's where the blanks will get filled in.

" Sea level rise would have put those cultural remains under water, for the most part, at the bottom of drowned river valleys (now tidal estuaries) and on the Continental shelf." I've read that the Nile Valley leading into the ocean would have looked like the Grand Canyon during the Ice Age.

The Chesapeake and Potomac estuaries would likely have looked similar. If I get time, maybe I’ll poke around Lake Agassiz’ shorelines on Google Earth. There should be something in the vicinity, there. If I could find the Ancestral Yellowstone/Missouri channel, there might be something palimpsest by the last glaciation there, but chances are anything would have been obliterated. You never know, and you can’t find it if you don’t look.

Exactly, what occurred to me was this antler injury could have just as easily been inflicted by the original owner of said antler, a big angry buck deer.

i wonder why DNA tests were not conducted specifically for that confirmation. or ... were they and they are purposely silent on the issue!!
that would really throw a wrench in the “White man stole from the Indians” crowd...
