  1. There is a pillar of iron in India that is 1700 years old, sitting out in the rain, not rusting.

  2. Youtube also deletes links to it's sister site, the academic paper search engine google scholar. I wish Musk bought youtube instead of twitter

  3. There are actually a number of articles on the impact hypothesis.

  4.  @CarlosHenriqueXavierEndo  That is certainly suggestive, but the total capacity is so large, it could be that those tasks were done in different areas of the brain. If it didn't have language what did it use that giant brain for?

  5. Yup the footprints! And Rio Puerco site also in NM is at 37 kya and looks pretty good, although it is based on mammoth bones not human bones, cut marks can be pretty strong evidence I still dig the Clovis. What is so cool about them?

  6. Everyone had to drink it during the hard winter, but only the Oggertons on Cowfart Lane ironically digested it appropriately. The Oggertons had many children...

  8.  @scotthyde6557  Yup. The impact was real. But it didn't kill all the Clovis people. The culture changed. Folsom and Cumberland points for example are like Clovis with an even longer flute.

  9. There actually was the ice free corridor during the YD. It opened at around 13,500 to 13,000 years ago, and stayed open.

  10. ​ @jackturner4917  In Hawaii there was a wave of extinction after the first people got there that is attributable to rats, rather than hunting or disease. In a few years the rats multiplied so much they formed a "great gray wave" in the words of one of the researchers. Ground nesting birds were not amused.

  11. great question. Check out Turner et al 2007 in Science. Lemme know what you think. This paper has pics of the evidence... feather quill knobs

  13. The genes were there? Prove it.

  14.  @martylawrence5532  Ooooh, I get it! Yes for epigenetic changes, the genes are already present.

  15. ​ @martylawrence5532  God has endowed creation with layers and layers of structure, from atoms to planets to life forms. Evolution also has levels and layers, natural selection, epigenetics, jumping genes... Every part of the universe echoes the voice of God moving on teh waters 13.7 billion years ago. It's God's universe, why would it not reflect God's creativity? Evolution is very creative.

  16.  @robt2778  Yup, a group left Africa and evolved into Neanders. Then later, sapiens came out of Africa, did the wild thing and Bob's your uncle.

  17. yes! doggos are in the picture from maybe 35,000 years ago

  19. i would think so. a camp fire would do it

  20.  @stuckinthemud4352  How about making bronze? Bronze has an age named after it. Mexicans made Bronze.

  21. There are about 5 sources, one recent review says. Much is not known...

  22. The overkill hypothesis is overcooked.

  23. The oldest known musical instrument is a neanderthal flute. Music suggests language but could also be independent.

  24.  @NORTH02  Nassaney and Pyle 2017, for example. Bows were invented 70 kya but there is no evidence of bows in the Americas until long after the Archaic period. In Arkansas the first evidence is 1400 BP (600 AD), they say in the paper.

  28. To me they are not extremely similar but am no expert. They both use overshot flaking and some of the points are very long. Clovis is fluted, Solutrean is not, which means the hafting is also different. The surface of Clovis looks a lot smoother but that could be the limited number of Solutrean points I've seen in pics

  29.  @wompbozer3939  When they find something old, archaeologists panic and order pizza! Lol just kidding. They love old stuff. If they could they would actually eat a pizza from 22kya to test the "out of pepperoni" theory

  30.  @wompbozer3939  How do you know a geologist is slacking off? When he takes it for granite.

  31. something like 54 sites around the world report platinum anomalies at ca 12,900 BP

  32. The head is too precious for combat, the beak and teeth are for eating. The main killing tool is the big toe. They would grab with the front limbs and kick with the most powerful muscles in the body, as the fossil shows. Idk about "gutting" with the big toe, but I feel strongly that the beak is not for combat; that's like asking your general to charge the machine gun. (I do like the illustration of prey imobilization as a primary strategy for smaller prey). H1 Fossil shows actual behavior. Pro: It shows a killing blow Con: ? H2 Fossil was re-arranged randomly by the sandslide Pro: ? Con: Every limb of the Velo is engaged with the Proto, rather than splayed randomly

  33. There were reports that the microspherules and nanodiamonds were not replicable. However, that has changed as it has now been replicated at 56 sites. (review by Powell 2020, Science Progress)

  34.  @Eyes_Open  The platinum spike in the GISP ice core is particularly convincing to me, it is a million times over background levels. Curiously the asteroid seems to have had little to no osmium. Another curiosity: there's a signal of huge fires... 30 years after the platinum spike.

  35. I looked it up, it is apparently real. Inuits eat enough fat so it's not a problem. It's only a problem if you only have lean meat and no carbs or fats. I am still suspicious however, like you I've heard all kinds of carp about what we should eat that is contradicted by the actual research, and common sense.

  36. berries?
    1
  37.  @TimL1980  Berries + Meat = Pemmican, a mainstay for the plains cultures! Just thought of that, man am I sapien! But, to your OP I donut think of anything that could replace meat... but plants could have been important. Wild berries can be super abundant in the colder climes of the US in season, idk about Europe back then

  38.  @TimL1980  I reckon there's isotope work on the diet?

  40.  @gary4689  Darwin argued that natural and artificial selection were very similar, but different. They are very similar in how they affect a genome over time. They are different because humans have a goal in mind.

  42. Right, the ANE are really different and worthy of learning about. They are a common ancestors of Native Americans and European Hunter Gatherer. Something special happened on the shores of Baikal in those days... some say it was the water.

  43. Or, maybe the reverse, Europeans were descendants of Clovis.

  44. Yeah there was big trouble around 12,900 years ago. To be fair to the skeptics it's not a typical asteroid or comet. It had no osmium, but it had platinum... maybe was in many pieces over years... and it occurred during a tippy time in climate.

  45. If the skeleton has DNA then it can be estimated

  49.  @imateapot51  Chasing the deer is one thing, catching it is another. Training it to code a complex system is yet a third thing. A fourth thing is teaching it to fill out tax forms. With their intimate knowledge of nature, deer could be excellent at real estate.

  50.  @anonymousanonymous4690  Agree, Polynesians were recent -- maybe 1000 years ago. But there's also a very early "Austronesian" DNA signature in the Americas; the Anzick child already had it. Among living people, the best match to this Austronesian component i think is the Andaman Islanders. Is this a clue about the invention of boats ~70 kya?
