Really?
I thought The Wave was when you put both hands up?

No Min, that's when the other guy has a bigger gun than you have!

I disagree... There is always a first "something"...Digit wrote:Sorry Min but you're still not with me. I don't give an sh-one-t as to whether Clovis arrived via Mongolia or the Hudson Ferry!
What I'm saying is that the people either developed it from not having any stone tools at all or that they are the result of development from an earlier culture, just as the European Middle Stone Age is a later development of the Early Stone Age.
No culture exists without an antecedent.

For instance, there had to be a "first" ape culture, which descendent hominins built upon through time, culminating in subsequent
cultures, which were built upon by succeeding cultures, ad nauseum.
Ya gotta start somewhere!

Clovis-Solturean was the apex of flintknapping technological development.
There is no way it came out of nowhere, and there is no way it was learned in two weeks' time and traveled by word of mouth across the USA.
If at all interested, read Peoples of the Flute by Bob Patten.

Maybe so, Roy, but Uni posits that Clovis/Solutrean knapping technology was not the start of a technology, but instead a pinnacle of a technology, which therefore cannot have come out of nowhere but would have been developing for, literally, ages leading up to their getting to be that pinnacle of technology.

Well I wouldn't be prepared to put a time scale to the development RS but I reiterate that nothing so sophisticated can have been achieved overnight.

Sounds like you guys are saying the same thing.

Perhaps it is just a natural adaptation?
