Colorado Experience: Paleo Indians

Evidence of prehistoric mammals and early humans have been discovered across Colorado. Lamb Spring in Douglas County is home to the largest collection of Colombian mammoth bones in the state, offering archaeological insight into these prehistoric dwellers. The discoveries of Lindenmeier near Ft. Collins and Mountaineer in Gunnison reveal much about the people who lived here over 10,000 years ago.

Nice basic overview. Clarifications: One interviewee mentions “the last ice age”. The Ice Age began about 1.8 million years ago and consists of a long series of long glaciations broken by relatively brief inter-glaciations. The Ice Age period plus a little extra on the front end is geological epoch known as the Pleistocene. The best present information on how long humans have been in North American since migrating from Asia is about 35,000 to 40,000 years. Carbon dating of a site in Texas was in that range. Humans reached the tip of South America about 10,000 years ago from the oldest carbon dating of human sites there. Sites in Colorado range back to about 12,000 years. A relatively recent site near Hotchkiss, Colorado, Eagle Rock Shelter was shown to have had continuous seasonal human habitation for about 12,000 years.

[@jonpatterson7211]

Man, you hit the nail on the head. I live in N.C , close to the S.C line. Development is rampant in our area. I work just down the street from a construction site where town houses are going in. On my lunch hour, I often visit the site to look for artifacts, and have saved 9 stone points in various conditions from an area roughly 300 yds long by 150 yds wide. Prior to the construction, the site had been an empty, grass covered field for the 24 years I'd lived in that neighborhood, how long before that I obviously can't say. Nine points in an area that size seems like a lot to me. I've collected points all my life, and have never seen that many in one place before. What do you think? I guess development is a double edged sword. On one hand it takes natural places and turns them into something artificial, but had it not been for the dozers and backhoes, I'd have had no idea those points were there and it never would have raised the question "What was this place?".

Humans and the top of the food chain were almost wiped out by meteor impact that hit Greenland 12,900 years ago. With large predators and herbivores unable to survive the catastrophe the surviving humans were able to replenish the earth after the ice age was ended. The melting glaciers created floods that wiped out most evidence of human inhabitantion in north America. Surviving humanoids mixed and became one hybrid species that is now modern humans.

The best habitat for lots of Megafauna like this. Sabertoothed cats, Elephants, Horses, Lions, Bison, Toxodon, Camels, is Grassland. I think the fact that America had Cheetahs is indicative that it was Grasslands. Cheetahs can't run fast in Wooded Areas/Forests. And these cheetahs were more closely related to Cougars than African Cheetahs.

[@mexicanmuslim]

But there was definitely wooded areas. Jaguars, GroundSloths, Cougars, Beavers lived too. They needed Trees to live. Essentially the landscape was drastically different than it is today. Also it was the Ice Age, the coasts were bigger. There was More land on the coasts etc.

[@DanyaAnderson]

There would still have been a transitional landscape from prairie to woodland to tundra.

[@joycee5493]

As the glaciers retreated, woodlands of oak, hickory and other trees raced back up the North American continent. It is thought this either caused or contributed to the demise of horses...(3 species I think). Horses are at risk in woodlands, as they have trouble outrunning predators and they are not able to see long distances to see a predator coming. To this day domestic horses are much more comfortable in open areas with wide views as opposed to wooded areas and hedgerows....their DNA still tells them that anything can be lurking there.

*"Archeology is about to emerge from it's era of Adolescence"* This statement has more than one meaning, the practice of Archaeology, and the more I influencing area of Archaeology, it's own perspective of itself, the Collective and the Individual Perspective aka it's Self Concept, so to speak. Given the Quantum Physics defining of the *"Universal Laws", particularly the "Universal Law of Attraction", (Thoughts and Feelings are Energies that Vibrate on a Frequency, this these X Beliefs are the values that Create the Reality experienced. This applied to the subject is the "Changing our Evolving Point.) With this in mind, I offer my perspective attached below: Copy of: *"The Perspective of a Sociologist/Historian"* (from the subject of "Horses and the Native Peoples" being pre-Spanish Invasion) *I felt this and knew there's an emerging: Truth of History, unfolding rapidly, through the value of Genetics/DNA Testing and the Awakening of the Collective, aided through the expansion of the Collective Consciousness.* My degrees are in: "Sociology, History, and Journalism" with additional Post Grad Studies. (I have discovered a variety of subjects to be inaccurate in the areas of Archaeology and History, challenging to my own Logic, History sources, the Artifacts, and Remains, structures that are misclassified and misdated.) I have, for some time, felt the greater facts would be aided by turning to the Native Peoples, Indigenous Populations, in the Americas and the Eastern Countries, to gather the greater facts. The stories simply require greater clarity in their Interpretations. The key points to the current inaccuracies in the stories written as History are the Influence of the "Human Ego Mind, aka Lower Mind"; the influence of the same in earlier times with History being largely written by the Victors; the influence of the Roman Emperor Model (the standard of warring aggression for Ownerships); + the Roman Model of Religion; and then the same attitudes and behaviors influencing the Scientific Model, superceding their own "Standards of Science and Research", as found in the Darwinian Model, the Mainstream Academics/Archaeologists using a *"19th Century Theory as the foundation and linear timeline for the Paradigm of Modern Humans", and using this as a Tool of Measure to ignore, destroy, and attack finds that don't support their Paradigm.* Further, in relation to this Paradigm, the same Energies of Thoughts remain largely from the "Ego Mind, aka Lower Mind, aka Adolescent Mind". Wisdom is found in the Higher Mind, aka Mature Mind, where all Positive Thought Energies reside. Likewise, from this perspective the "Standards of Science and Research" originated, and the Authentic Academics follow these Standards consistently. Many of the se whom follow Mainstream Academics, do so out of fear, and of course, all that f the fear based, negative thoughts are found in the Ego Mind, aka Lower Mind.

I knew long ago of the type and was able to be luckily able to pick up my point in VA ....... some info on this typology, ect. Recent evidence shows this typology move from the east coat of America and later to be modified into what we know as Covis typology.. want to argue the point ( LOL ) TAKE it up with Dr. Dennis Sanford and ask him.. All I know, I do have a very super rare authentic one..... The term Solutrean comes from the type-site of "Cros du Charnier", dating to around 21,000 years ago and located at Solutré, in east-central France near Mâcon. The Rock of Solutré site was discovered in 1866 by the French geologist and paleontologist Henry Testot-Ferry. It is now preserved as the Parc archéologique et botanique de Solutré. The industry was named by Gabriel de Mortillet to describe the second stage of his system of cave chronology, following the Mousterian, and he considered it synchronous with the third division of the Quaternary period. The era's finds include tools, ornamental beads, and bone pins as well as prehistoric art. Solutrean tool-making employed techniques not seen before and not rediscovered for millennia. The Solutrean has relatively finely worked, bifacial points made with lithic reduction percussion and pressure flaking rather than cruder flintknapping. Knapping was done using antler batons, hardwood batons and soft stone hammers. This method permitted the working of delicate slivers of flint to make light projectiles and even elaborate barbed and tanged arrowheads. Large thin spearheads; scrapers with edge not on the side but on the end; flint knives and saws, but all still chipped, not ground or polished; long spear-points, with tang and shoulder on one side only, are also characteristic implements of this industry. Bone and antler were used as well. The Solutrean may be seen as a transitory stage between the flint implements of the Mousterian and the bone implements of the Magdalenian epochs. Faunal finds include horse, reindeer, mammoth, cave lion, rhinoceros, bear and aurochs. Solutrean finds have also been made in the caves of Les Eyzies and Laugerie Haute, and in the Lower Beds of Creswell Crags in Derbyshire, England (Proto-Solutrean). The industry first appeared in what is now Spain[citation needed], and disappears from the archaeological record around 17,000 BP. .

Should credible evidence of direct gene flow from an ancient Solutrean (or Middle Eastern) population be found within ancient Native American genomes, it would require the field to reassess the “Beringian only” model of prehistoric Native American migration. However, no such evidence has been found, and the Beringian migration model remains the best interpretation of the genetic, archaeological, and paleoclimate data to date.

Is PBS by definition trying to aim their level of information at grade-school children? At some point, it feels exclusionary, when you realize they take 15 minutes to cover what would be four or six paragraphs of written information, and obliquely at that. For example, it's nonsensical to claim that people living in sites many hundreds of miles from the coasts are "the first." They don't believe it, but it's lazy writing. Obviously, you've got better preserved sites further from more variable coastal weather, but don't just lie about it, saying "this is first." Americans are rapidly catching up to Europeans and Japanese in our average age, and as PBS lobbies for funding so enthusiastically they really need to stop lecturing all of us as children. As has been said over and over, you're not going to find what you don't look for, at least not very well or often. Were we here in North America 50,000, 100,000, 150,000 years ago? Fleeting hints of large-scale terraforming are rumored, but unproven IMO. And I say "we" because I am a human, a native human of my planet. I'm surely a native American, b. 1957. Regarding original occupancy, everything indicates that people have been pretty squirrelly for a long time, though I personally think that a LOT of early exploration was accidental, as in - '''Capt. Tyrone, I think this raft's floated a little too far..." And from that point on, it's just a matter of A) don't starve; B) find chicks!

Discrediting and misleading statements dont help us have faith in the experts. I understand your grievence with the system but our knowledge has been tested and affirmed through time. The sphere of knowledge collectively is vast and any one researcher is limited in the scope they can see all the information in. Please try to broaden your scope on the situation and have a great day

Some things are controversial, but stealing the land is a fact. Also these people were not Indians; unless we mean that they came from India? In addition, this makes the Bering strait theory less plausible, because why would people first settle in south America and pass through north America? That doesn't make much sense for a roaming people, because it means more work.

Definition of indigenous 1 : produced, growing, living, or occurring naturally in a particular region or environment Indigenous doesn't travel 2000 plus miles over a "land bridge".

Given that they walked over over a contigous stretch of land, where there were NO borders at the time, given no states, they ARE/WERE indigenous to that land mass, a lnad mass that later rises in sea level separated. The Europeans, by contrast had to arrive over the water - oh by the way there is some suggestion that a genetic haplotype marker found in Indigenous peoples in the North East of the continent could indicate that seal hunters had made it to the new world from Europe during the last Ice Age - definately NOT indigenous. Please look a little harder before you allow your bigotry to obscure you thought

Land bridge theory was debunked long ago. Bravo.

[@ElazarusWills]

@@AhNee No it wasn't. That is firmly established. But it is possible that some migration could have come via a Kon Tiki type thing. But DNA evidence of this is still lacking.

Paleoman was the first TRUE native American. Amerind has become the correct term for the people that displaced Paleoman.

[@user-ny5cu5ol1p]

Amerinds are modern descendants of Paleoindians. The only indigenous people not fully Paleoindian are the Athabascan peoples

[@dariusgreysun]

@@user-ny5cu5ol1p false. Paleoman and Amerinds have been proven to be different based on numerous archeological studies. Athabaskan* indians did not permeate the Americas as did Paleo followed by displacement from Amerinds.

[@user-ny5cu5ol1p]

@@dariusgreysun genetics prove Amerindians descend from paleoindians; look at the Kennewick man case for example. The Athabascans, like the Apache and Navajo, make up a seperate later migration that don't entirely descend from paleoindians. They're the only "Amerindians" that don't fully descend from paleoindians. Do you understand now?

[@ElazarusWills]

Clovis and Folsom were just two separate Paleo/Archaic cultures that made different kinds of spear points and hunted different things.

the mormons werent right about anything

[@Quantrills.Raiders]

America didnt exist until 200 years ago...

[@midnitewaterchief]

Why still use a word (indians) if you know it's wrong and mislabeling?

[@billhosko7723]

Because Native and Indigenous, First Nations are all inaccurate as well.

[@daleowens7695]

I don't understand the term "Paleo Indian". I get the ignorant vernacular "indian", but these are scientists. Why would they continue to use this term? It doesn't make sense to me. If someone with insight into this could help me out, that would be great. I guess an actual archeologist might know. Who actually makes these terms? Is it just the terms coined in scholarly papers until eventually a consensus forms on a particular name/phrase? They need to change this term, it's really stupid.

No. Just for 35,000 to 40,000 years after coming from Asia. We all came originally from Africa.

Nothing started in Africa. Most Africans originated outside Africa. The out of Africa theory is based on monkey business literally. There are more Egyptian artifacts in America than in Egypt.
