[W:#183]Humans in the Americas before last Ice Age

And you seem to be unaware that china isn't.

They could be, but they decided to import theirs so they would have theirs when the world starts to fight over resources.

Way to stick it to the libs, though!

Yeah, we've been doing the same thing since forever, but the conservatives just don't get it.

Use what's available on the market, and when the market dries up, you still have your own resources.

It is when you say something derogatory directed at a person. Why is it that liberals, leftists, Democrats can't simply debate. They always have to resort to lowering themselves below dogs and cats. Why is that?

One isn't saying you are stupid when you repeat stupid lies you read on the internet.

No reason too, actually.

It's your opinion that they are lies when they are actual verifiable truths. You are not the arbitrator of truth...

No they are not.

You have indications and rumors and possibilities.

What you do have is a deity that demands obedience but will not prove his existence to anybody alive. One that just happens to embody the worst in those who use him to justify their power.

Making their shitty behavior godlike.

But this is an anthropology thread. So I will end this exchange here.

Do you see the word "lie?" You said I lied.

Yes. The post was a stupid lie.

Saying so is not a violation of the rules.
 
Have no idea of your rant and it's meaning. Once again, following the leftist CNN and the haters of religion. You are ending something that never got off the ground. Funny...

The TOPIC is humans in the Americas before the last ice age, and you've been off that topic for pages. Your 'issues' would be a better fit in the religion forum. IMO.

I think it went towards religion because someone threw around 10,000 years ago there was an ice age. Not everyone agrees with this. Like me. It was after the world-wide flood in which there is evidence of. So, that's how they comingled themselves.
 
The Inuit fascinate me; why people would choose to live in such a harsh and uncomfortable place as the Arctic has always been a puzzle. It's all about what you're used to, I guess. Researchers say they came from Siberia, and it's cold there, too. Even today, when they could fly to warmer places to live, and certainly know about them, they stay.

I love the inukshuk, the stone markers they used for navigation markers, spiritual messages and myriad other communications. This one at Mingo Lake on Baffin Island is 3,000 years old.



The Inuit and Paleo Eskimos before them were late comers (6,000 to 2,000 BCE), but they spread from Alaska to Greenland. The Paleo Eskimos, including the Dorset, are now gone, replaced by the Inuit, but not before there was a great comingling of genes. Naturally.

The Dorset made some petroglyphs, mostly of human faces, at least where easily carveable rock was available. The Inuit did not.


Qajartalik | Images on Stone

Qajartalik is a rock art site located on the Ungava Peninsula in the Nunavik region (Northern Quebec). The site features more than 180 carvings of human-like faces, some of which are endowed with animal attributes. The images at this ancient place were carved by the Dorset people who inhabited...

They prefer to be called Iñupiat in Alaska, but they still speak Inuit. They also originated from the Aleutian Islands about 4,000 years ago and mixed with natives from northeastern Siberia. So this was long after humans already occupied North America.

The title of the thread is also problematic, since there were no modern humans at all before the current ice-age began 2.58 million years ago. Modern humans have only been around for 180,000 to 200,000 years.

While many consider 15,000 years to be the earliest humans arrived in North America, many now think it may be between 30,000 and 40,000 years ago due to evidence of human footprints found on the shores of BC. However, there is one study that suggests modern humans were present in North America 130.7 ± 9.4 thousand years ago. Which would put humans in North America during the Eemian Interglacial period that occurred between 130,000 and 115,000 years ago.

WOW! That is some real news! I've always had a feeling people were here much longer, but we just didn't know about it.
 

So you're diseased?
