Humans in Florida in 14,500 BC
May 13, 2016 at 6:35 pm
http://www.rawstory.com/2016/05/remarkab...ida-river/
Quote:Researchers who dove hundreds of times into a sinkhole beneath the brown murky waters of Florida’s Aucilla River have retrieved some of the oldest evidence of human presence in the Americas including stone tools apparently used to butcher a mastodon.
Scientists said on Friday the tools, animal bones and mastodon tusk found at the site showed that people already had occupied the American Southeast by 14,550 years ago, about 1,500 years earlier than previously known.
It's a long way from the Pacific NW to Florida.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Exactly...and that's why everyone in (or from) FL has a gun. Mastadons and mosquitoes.

Oops.

FTFY. Also..."Palmetto Bugs" - not cockroaches...they'll fly away with your dog. Calling them "cockroaches" gives yankees the wrong idea.......lol.

I think a lot of anthropologists assume humans spread rapidly throughout North America by following a combination of pre-historic migrating animal herds and rivers. However, since humans were present as far south as Patagonia by 10,000BC at the very latest (some evidence suggests it might have even been by 12,000BC) , it makes sense that they were probably in North and Central America much earlier than we've thought.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

Yeah, but I bet if you're a real pro, you could train a Mastodon to be your pet or something. Train it to eat all those palmetto bugs.
