Re: As winter approaches
Pretty much. By October everyone is pretty sick of the heat. I lived in Florida for thirteen years and experienced pretty much the same except that the slightly lower temperature was offset by the 94% humidity at sea level. But, here on the farm, my to do list shortens dramatically during winter, l...

Old school academic abbreviation. Like ibid(em), op(us) cit(atus) & that stuff. NB = Nota bene ("Note well) NBB = Note very well (This is really important - pay attention !) NBBB is my own whimsy I suppose. Ahhhh.... As to height, we have not discovered Homo floresiensis in the New World ....

Re: But Still Clinging to the "Land Bridge"
"Indigenous Amerindian genetic studies indicate that the "colonizing founders" of the Americas emerged from a single-source ancestral population that evolved in isolation, likely in Beringia." Does that mean the dna is linked to asia or anywhere else? Is the DNA connected to any...

No links, but i think if you search for Etruscan DNA you'll find them.
That would explain the strong "nasal" feature.

Re: 300,000 year old spears
Coincidences, on the spur of the moment a few weeks ago, I happened to stop in at one of the reduced price book stores and acquired a copy of Robin Dennell's "The Paleolithic Settlement of Asia", with a remainder mark on the bottom. Subsequently, the Valsequillo thread and this one make th...

Re: Valsequillo 2: Revenge of the Diatoms

However, at first blush, being a student of history more than anything else, I appreciate your writing style and the amount of historical research you obviously have done. I will also say that studying controversies in science seems to be wh...

Re: Valsequillo 2: Revenge of the Diatoms
be that as it may, the Atlantic currents, both ways, might turn out to be a big player. If there is navigation at 880k at Flores, yeah, all bets are off. What was learned in the intervening 500-600k? And would the Canary Islands still have been a good take off point? Seafaring is a game changer. Wa...
