The Human Footprint in the Pacific Northwest

February 20, 2014 - The Human Footprint in the Pacific Northwest: From the Deep Past to the Present.
Presented by Dr. Rolf Mathewes, Simon Fraser University
Deep Time, Global Change and YOU lecture series
Environmental changes in the past and present have always played an important role in human affairs & cultural development.
Dr. Mathewes will explore links between past environments and the "peopling" of the new world along the coast of western North America near the end of the last ice age.
He will look into the evidence of how environmental changes during postglacial time have affected first nations cultural development and how it has been affected by early human activities.

The Silurian hypotheses is not only because of Kennewick Man (that's been disproven). It's also from sites in PA, VA, SC..... Who have proven sub Clovis habitations. That resemble artifacts from the Iberian Peninsula in the Silurian People's tool kits and point types. Do I think it's enough to say? No. But it's very possible that there were multiple North American incursions....by some groups who were successful and many who were not. The Circutti site is EXTREMELY interesting. Either way...right or wrong.... I LOVE thinking and learning about aboriginal Americans and their cultures. It keeps me up some nights..... Thank you for sharing this video with us. I loved it.

I wish I'd come across this years ago. Now of course we have much more data. This guy is nut on for the most part.

[@friendlyone2706]

For more interesting temperature comparisons, he should have shown a 5 million year temperature history -- we are nowhere near as stable -- or rich in plant & animal life -- as 2.5 to 5 million years ago when we were several degrees warmer than now.

1960s and early 1990s: Siberia, Siberia Siberia. Now: Ship from Seoul, Boat from Busan or transit from Tokyo, hold from Hokkaido, merchantman from Manila, vessel from Vladivostok, etc.!

Very informative, thank you . The old paradigm has changed after finding Footprints 23,000 BP, in New Mexico last year. Ice Free Corridor wasn't opened up at that era yet, then it seems to be coastal migration by boat along Kelp Highway of north Pacific ocean. Moreover, it wasn't "Express" migration from North America to the South. It seems to have moved step by step as normal pace and it took 70- 85 hundreds of years. It indicates that Asians started migration from the point, more than 30,000 years before to Beringia , whether it was in Siberia or in Hokkaido Japan. Ancestor, Proto Japanese "Sojin" since 35-30,000 BP in Hokkaido, had crossed 20km sea to the Tokyo islands for collecting obsidian by boat since 38,000 BP. So, descendants in Hokkaido could have migrated in coastal route. First Americans started from east freezing Siberia or along cold seashore connecting with sea of Hawaii 30,000 BP years before. Anyway now, the First Americans weren't mammoth hunters. A researcher Ryuzo Torii(WWⅠ era) paid attention to Routon tribe in northern Kuril islands and native Onkilon in Cukotskij sea shore tribe, in west Beringia,. 　sunda-wind.net

It all comes down to testing and context… the NM site is not definitive temporally or spatially, organic material can absorb carbon in marine environments - organic material was harvested from the base of those footprints to get to 23000 Bp. Write a grant, fund a boat, and find evidence of the so called kelp highway, until that happens it’s all supposition.

[@nmarbletoe8210]

1:20:07 but the interior route was open prior to 22 kya, it only closed from 22 to 13 kya. (great talk!)

[@VaxtorT]

Nice story. Very amusing.

[@tonkatoytruck]

Polynesian people have a high percentage of Denisovan DNA. Theories now point to Asian origins of early hominids, exploration of Australia via aboriginal peoples, and probably were in the Americas around the same time as boat travel to Australia and Polynesia.

[@mrkahn9977]

Mmo

[@TheShootist]

ironic then that amerinds are more related to ancient europeans (neanderthal) than to ancient east asians (denisovan).

[@arbez101]

Time 22:00 How can sea level vary by 350 feet, "depending on where you are"?

[@tonkatoytruck]

Because some land masses also sink and rise over time.

[@scottjosen2606]

Dead sea

[@nmarbletoe8210]

Some places have risen over 300 feet in the last 13,000 years! (Calvert Island, BC)

[@briangarrow448]

Great lecture! I appreciate the sharing of fascinating presentations like this one. I am a retired government worker who has always been interested in this topic. Sharing information online is truly the best way to educate the entirety of society. Again,thanks for the video.

[@arbez101]

If the information is true and accurate, then society is educated, but if its sketchy and distorted, then society is deceived.

[@scottjustscott3730]

Interesting lecture. And don't call me shirley!

[@surfk9836]

I won't call you Shirley. But it is a bad week to give up sniffing glue.

[@VA-ph2ml]

nice beaver

[@redheadaffiliate0249]

Come on surely Shirley

[@kenmello7252]

I would like to share not only a pre-clovis site, but artifacts found on site with you.

[@starrrex3122]

i dont feel pollen drills are always correct, because water flow takes top newer layer of landscape, therefore leaving a mixed sediment of old and new record

[@wf2197]

Interesting lecture. I don’t think Inuit peoples are okay with being called Eskimos though… I would think a specialist in this area would be savvy to such things.

[@koltoncrane3099]

Well 14000 years ago maybe the ocean was much lower. With the ice glacier sheets there would have been way less ocean water which means oceans would be shallower. If the land between England and europe used tk be a marsh but now is under water it makes ya think hmm. Ya the topography back then would be way different

[@janetalvarez144]

There were no cars back then, only volcanos

[@scottjosen2606]

Remember folks, it's settled science when they say it's settled science.....until.

[@lawneymalbrough4309]

So there was dry land along the northern coast during the ice age. A good way to get here from siberia.

[@debbiecooper3661]

Only few native American Indians was on Holy Mountain of God and 10 lost tribes. Those Tribes are Sealed. Rest of the Indians was enemies who will be plucked off promise land. With Esau and Ishmael. Ishmael is not worthy of Gods laws says laws of Moses banned since ancient times because Esau and Ishmael mixed and vowed to keep Isaac's slaves forever. Obama serpent rider bottomless pit king hidden behind Noah's cloak. An what Indians was cain who did not sin BEFORE God's BEFORE the flood .As last to come down cave of treasures are Ancient Covenant people who are Abraham Covenant people isaac Moses and Arrons people paleo Indians caucasian Hebrew Israelites Ancient Covenant people who built gold city for God .real ETHIOPIANS Arrons people.

Grandpa didn't prepare very well for the Q & A.

[@janetalvarez144]

Your behind by 8 yrs dear. I’m sure you didn’t know.

[@zipperpillow]

Much of this is out the window these days.

[@lawneymalbrough4309]

If corporlites are fossiles how do you gey dna from a fossile?

[@mitchelldavis482]

It's one thing to be arrogant with justification, but being arrogant specifically *because* you don't know anything about archaeology is really something special. You are very immature, Lawney. I hope you decide to be an inquisitive and mature person in future, instead of simply throwing tantrums about what you haven't even bothered to attempt to understand as you do now.

[@philsexton70]

...and no one answered the question just name calling. Science?

[@gpozdol7912]

Be aware, we the people have learned to take your scientific findings with a grain of salt.

[@ggtgp]

Excellent video, but the rest of the videos here are irrelevant junk of no interest to the general public. A viewing list at least needs to be made to find other videos like this that may be here somewhere.

[@lawneymalbrough4309]

He lied about the CO2 levels. They were higher during the ice age.

[@debbiecooper3661]

State of Israel stands with serpent rider .Esau bastards and heatherns Ishmael

[@friendlyone2706]

Sometimes higher, sometimes lower. CO2 is nearly temperature irrelevant. But it's a great tool to control animals and is essential for green plants.

[@ivanwigmore]

Ice age >> lower vegetation >> lower CO2 Warming period >> more vegetation >> higher CO2

[@nmarbletoe8210]

LOWER
