I think the term actually means to throw or throw on water.

This is great.thanks

Nice bro looks like your learning well 🎉

I’m gonna have to keep my eyes out for these & I’m gonna have to look into getting that book!

You should send me some wood from a baby paw paw tree 😅 they don’t grow were I am you should help fund the cause 🎉😂

Very interesting 🤔 ❤❤❤

I forget the title, maybe "Men from Asia"?, a book written in the 1890's or late 1880's written by a member of the American Academy of Sciences, in which the author (name escapes me) claimed that the Americas were first colonized by dark skinned people who subsequently died out except for perhaps a pocket at the tip of South America, who have since gone extinct. Much later, more north Asian-appearing people wandered over in different waves, and persisted. Today's dogma will fall as more finds are discovered, which is inevitable. We don't know the full story. It will be more interesting than the story told today.

Looks like Girdwood valley with the Prince hotel on the right coming into view.

Great video brother! I love migration theory videos. The Solutrean Hypothesis has always intrigued me, the idea of a very small minority of Europeans existing with the majority of Indigenous has always captivated my imagination. I saw a great video recently here on KZbin that was a Movie styled documentary, and it talked about how some theorists speculate that a very small band of Solutreans got caught in a huge ice storm (which apparently were larger and more intense back then) while hunting seals along the glacial ice of the Atlantic, and in doing so they were sent into the gulf stream of the Atlantic (which apparently is stronger in force than all of the rivers in the world combined) on a block of glaciated ice. Apparently they were able to move at around 11 miles per hour while hunkered down in one of these ice storms in the gulf stream, and were able to reach North America in around 4 days. All of this I heard from a 12 year old documentary that popped up for me here recently, I highly recommend checking it out if you get the chance! I don't know if I believe it or not, but it definitely sounds plausible! Here's the link I really enjoyed the style they made it too , it was sort of like a movie. - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oX-3iXaDjs-qe80

Hey, that was good! Thanks.

1- I think neanderthal were intelligent enough to pull it off. Maybe even one of the other later hominids, considering just how little we know about them... 2- From Western Africa, you could just about hop on a raft and FLOAT to North America. The ocean currents would literally pull you in that direction. 3- Furthermore, we do not know if, many thousands of years ago, the gulf coast may have extended further out, or perhaps even if there was another landmass like an island, or series of islands, between the two... 4- From the other direction, there was likely ice creating a continuous bridge over the Bering... presumably we're talking about a time well before 12,000 years ago... which puts us somewhere in one of the ice ages, unless it happened WAY before that... so theoretically North America was reachable by foot from Siberia, and may have been for some thousands of years... 5- I can't speak on other hominids, but I believe humans have been in the Americas FAR longer than anyone official wants to publicly acknowledge. I mean a good bit more than the furthest the mainstream is currently willing admit, i.e. 20,000+ years. 6- Considering just how taboo it has been for mainstream academics to speculate on this, and the fact that for a while such a thing was virtually career suicide... that should tell you something. Why is a young America so important to academia? 7- If you want to go all the way off the deep end... some people believe that the legendary civilization of Atlantis was right in the Americas. Indeed, Freemasons, Rosicrucians, and the Knights Templar have ALL made this claim, and this was a guarded secret until pretty recently. Francis Bacon sure seemed to think it was true... Hey, wasn't he in some secret society? lol

Aes Horselicka--

I was minoring in N American Anthropology 35+ years ago and always thought Clovis first was BS. I saw no reason why people should not have been in the Americas 50K+ years ago.

There is no short A sound in most languages, and atlatle should be pronounced as "oughtloughtle". Also, the sin in sinew should rhyme with pin. The "ogne" in Dordogne is pronounced as "own".

Perhaps the Homo Erectus who populated the Americas posessed an advanced technology that made themselves and their fabulous cities invisible.

The myths and traditions of the Native Americans are like the myths and traditions of the Greeks, Egyptians, Mesopotamians, South Asians, Chinese, and Japanese -- largely symbolic, and not to be taken literally.

Very cool, I've never seen honeysuckle used as cordage. Do you just use the outer bark?

Truth is that nobody at this point in time has any monopoly on the truth, whether more and definitive evidence ever comes to light in the future well who knows but at the moment there seems to be many stake holders in the game each with their own sets of reasons. There's far more questions than answers to be sure. Its recently been revealed that Denisovan DNA is present among south Americans of ancient decent yet no trace of Denisovan DNA left behind in North America...how come? obviously there was something going on and maybe a heck of a lot going on but again...just more questions and no answers.

The Red Haired Giants did

Thank you greatly for the shoutout brother 🙏🫡 and great video as always, I love the experiential archeology videos

Anytime I hear the expression drecolinisation. It's a marxist ideology and never leads to truth

Why does being racist bother you? I don't understand?

I lived just 15min north of that last san diego site you mentioned when it was found. I remember they were moving the roads and it was a rushed operation because it shutdown contruction. The very first news coverage of it was extreme excitement, then it was nothing but criticism and hit pieces, untill construction resumed. I can't remember if there were lawsuits, but i'm pretty sure they didn't have enough time to do thorough archaeology. It's all paved over now. I think they built the walmart ontop of part of the area too. Also, while in college 10yrs later, I remember doing a research report on the first peoples to live in southwest california. I read every book on the subject in two community colleges and gained no real knowledge beyond the elementary "they fished", "they collected shells", "they dug holes before building their tents". There was essentially no information on the topic of humans before about 200yrs ago.

In case anyone here is actually open-minded... I was in university in the 90s. Clovis first wasn't really a thing. What little evidence of Pre-Clovis peoples we had was exciting then. We still don't have enough information to characterize said people's. We still can't characterize Clovis people to anything beyond a tool set. Don't misconstrue not characterizing, due to limited evidence, with denying peoples exist. It's weird. If you think that you can "gotcha" me, and you happen to find a Clovis first professor from the 90s, then they probably wrote a book on it. They seem to always be tied to financial incentive.

I agree with your views not because you said it but because I reached the same conclusions long ago based on more or less the same evidence. Seek and yea shall find. Knock and it shall be opened. Set on your fat arse and pontificate and you risk being proven a fool. That has been the history of North American archeology. I'm and old man and I have lived to see many generations of U.S. archeologist proven wrong. Unfortunately many of them seem to have to die before they stop obstructing progress.

@4:35 are you making a slur against americas who identify as Republicans. If so, does not your categorical stereotyping show your lack of maturity, tack, and understanding , especially when trying to share educational material with the general public. Jus

Homo erectus is alive and well. Just look at the news

Little people

Well, its not IMPOSSIBLE that sentient life has evolved numerous times in the planets deep past. After all, absence of proof is not proof of absense. So sure, its possible that dozens of earlier hominid species colonized North America. Why not? I mean, if we skip the probable, the merely possible is a wide field.

I do not know but is it just a blockage in the brain of antropologists stopping finds of Homo Erectus in America. Maybe it is just as simple as to dig deep enough to strike stone tools of H. Erectus. Finding actual fossiles are a lot less easy. Generally you find stone tools ca 300 000 years before actual fossiles of Homo and you find a lot more of them. The very strong resistance to Homo Naledi burial/religon is similar to resistance to pre-Clovis Homo in America. To believe the potential Homo Erectus of America died out by itself is foolish. Homo Floresinensis and Java man (Homo Erectus at least mainly) died out suspiciously close to Sapiens arrival. We killed them all!

Clovis first is/was a sad story of settled science.

Big question.

Cool new channel. Why wouldn't any hominins follow the herds of migration happening during the multiple species exchanges? To avoid butchering names or words a quick google how do I pronounce helps. 👍

When your a hammer every problem is nail. When you are a racist you can find racism in literally everything…

I honestly work with an Engineer who genuinely looks like a Neanderthal. Smart guy too. So much for the evolutionary theory!! (Which btw, is mathematically & statistically impossible)

I'd like to mention that archaeologists are happy to assume new world monkeys rafted their way from Africa to America via driftwood along the natural currents of the Atlantic ocean... Some 50 million years ago or so. Why couldn't Homo Erectus have done something similar during their 2 million years of existence?

It's entirely possible that a number small groups of hominins and/or humans made their way to the Americas over a very long timeframe. A small group could have easily settled, lived, and died out without leaving any recognizable artifacts. We have to bear in mind that artifacts from that long ago are quite rare and we could easily overlook any number of small human settlements. We have always accepted that Asia and Europe were settled in successive waves, so it seems more likely than not that the Americas were populated in fits and starts by several groups of people.

Likely bones will someday be found.

Mammoth killing weapons.

Um they did listen to indigenous people. We have been saying that human cognates have been here aling with us for millenia. The approach to to archaeology is from an abrahamic european persoective, instead of being authenically open to the very reality that human cogates and various human populations and migrations have been coming to the americas for millenia. Human cognates/hominids/hominins/mokeys, asians/siberians, polynesians, europeans, africans, and indigenous Americans have been here. And sadly because of abrahamic ignorance every is screwy and people keep licking things away because it goes against their mythology anout their sky father and makes their colonialism and genocides meaningless! When you take away abrahamic religion and get rid of hang ups people have, then its not hard to accept that the hairy people exist existed and indigenous people have known about it for millenia! And every now and then people have sightings. But i dont think that rhey are homo erectus. I think they are a few different types of 'people' and we are just the ones that are most successful. Legends in both Siberia speak of not just nahani and chuchunya, more tall primitive 7-9ft tall skin wearing rudemetart stone toll using people, but also the typical tall hairy giants, giant red haired cannibals, little people, tiny people, hairy people our size, hairy people smalker than us, hairy people who cover themselves in mud and rocks, hairy people with a snout, and whats very interesting is that many of these different types are said to operate at night deep in forests, are said to either bury their dead deep inside caves, eat their dead, or destroy them even bury them. Many theorize that as we evolved, paranthropys also did som and grew taller, evolving to occupy the nocturnal niche to not be detected by us. My experience has been that when elders speak listen. Too many things line up for it to not be reality. How is it that my indigenous ancestors were carving masks of these creatures when they've never seen a great ape before and never knew they existed? And how is it that the behaviors attributed to the hairy people are the same ones you see in other primates including us? These hominins are aluve and well, and they've evolved, and we know them as Sasquatch and Bigfoot. Indigenous people have been telling you about these people for decades and centuries. It's also why you have stories about indigenous women being taken and raped then having children that often don't survive! But thats just guessing. But what i;m sure of is that the creatures we call Sasquatch, are those hominins you're talking about.

Your channel is a hidden gem. Great video

I have a hypothesis. Erect hominids evolved on different land masses all around the same time. Its all the same planet so same climate same hazards to overcome. The antecedent of Hominids could have been spread across Pangea.

You lost me at "racist".

Just because the 13K year ago estimate for the arrival of Homo sapiens has had to be revised to 23K years ago does not justify wild speculation about H. erectus (extinct over 100K years ago) in America. There is no solid evidence of Homo in America back that far, not even close. Of course we must respect native origin myths but these are likely metaphoric and the myths contain no dates. Genetic evidence does not exist to support independent evolution of Native H. sapiens from H. erectus. While it is not impossible that H. erectus made it to America for instance from Asia it is best to just keep looking for the earliest appearance of man in America and not speculate wildly, feeding the imaginations of the Bigfoot crowd.

Hueyatlaco The Archeological Enigma That Changes History: I watched this yesterday. Worth serious consideration. I would only adjust the date to 1.5 million to 750,000 years ago... kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJy4o4KurKyro5Y

Regarding early hominid navigation by celestial methods, one has to accept the fact that the air was generally clearer and light pollution was almost nonexistent. stars were literally in your face in open spaces, brightly colored and always there. Homo erectus needed a star chart-mind to get anywhere out of Africa and the middle east.

The indigenous peoples I know and know a little about have three main origin myth types, which is a simplification only to make a point: Turtle Island, Emergence from mother Earth and a Trickster creative spirit that plays with infinite time and space. sorry for that reductionistic language, because the point is that the response to the mostly European-American interviewers, regardless of pedigree, has been, We were always here. We come from this Earth. This is Turtle Island. This land of earth and sky made us. The latest trend pushing the singular arrival of hominids is shifting with a more inclusive and precise narrative, or paradigm, or myth. That Homo erectus had the ability to get and thrive here to greet the next trickle, wave or deluge of hominids more like us now is sort of obvious, and more evidence of coastal and northern, polar sites are sure to emerge, if we go a lookin' for 'em, dagnabbit!

GREAT video bro!! This is top tier right here loved it.
