I suspect that small populations of H. erectus were in the Americas since anomolies keep oozing out of the woodwork, but the proof will be long in coming. See the following: http://www.washtimes.com/world/20041004-112319-2802r.htm Not a great and irrefutable discovery since the H. erectus bones lost...

Have they found any sort of settlement in the area? The site marked seems a bit far from the lake or the river. One would think that people would live closer to the water source. What is the terrain like? There is no settlement in that area, nor does anyone expect to find one. Bear in mind that the...

just imagine if one type of headlice preferred blondes

Actually, that would explain some blonde behaviour, wouldn't it?

OK, more to the point of this thread. Can anyone here explain this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3715132.stm Having Asians interact with H. Erectus, not infect anyone else around them, and then migrate to the Americas just seems to be a little too complicated. BTW, H. Erectus is my wife...

Well, it would still be fun to set him adrift with minimal provisions just to see what happens, don't you think?



For myself, I would like to find out if God would be providing him with manna and rainwaiter on his journey.

As mentioned on a different thread, I live about an hour's drive from the Calico Early Man site. My neighbor was a San Bernardino County councilman when Leakey was visiting the site and knew him. As a matter of fact, he tagged along with Leakey when he explored the shoreline of ancient Lake Manix (w...

Yes, Beagle. Point well taken. I will put this in the Calico thread. The area that I am discussing is roughly five miles east of Calico, near the shoreline. http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g316/patrick1952/148b183c.jpg And by the way, on private not government land. I am picking artifacts up in an...

I live about an hour from the Calico, California site. I was skeptical of the Calico dating, but felt it was worthwhile to go look for myself. After almost two years of looking I found a tool site on a hill, up from the shore of Lake Manix, about five miles east of the Calico site. According to orth...

Free Thinker wrote: The tools found in the Americas ALL belong to a modern human lithic industry. There are no crude hand axes or choppers at ancient levels. No Oldowan, Acheulian, or Mousterian. Even if most of the sites were coastal and from a period of low sea levels worldwide it is very unlikely...
