    LOL. While it may very well be true I'm as fucked up as anyone else, I think you and I can agree most people aren't as fucked up as the KKK. Parasites are rarely appreciated.

    An excellent point. IIRC, on average, about 200 feet underwater.

    Better, IMO, to let them feed off each other. It leaves fewer remaining to employ the old "stake method of parasite removal". LOL

    Too right you are.

    Supposedly, there was an ice-free corridor down the spine of western Canada, which facilitated overland migration. But that is just a hypotheses.

    The strange thing to me is that the majority of the oldest confirmed human remains in the Americas have been found in south and central America. Supposedly the last places migrants from Siberia would have made it to. Even in North America some of the oldest, definitive sites of human habitation are in the eastern United States.

    You would hope there would be far more evidence of human remains in the western united states, which Siberian migrants presumably would have reached long before getting to central and south America.

    You know they get rid of garden slugs? Leave some shallow dishes out with beer. Works for the KKK Klub, too. They seem to have the forum's best collection of middle-of-the-night-and-5am drunk posters.

    It is possible that they have yet to be discovered. Just like now, the coastal areas had a milder climate than the interior. It's quite likely that most settlement was on what was then the coasts, but is now under water.

    Why is it, do you think, that the Trumpanzees and other Qpers are so afraid of the future w/o oil and coal?

    For sure that makes sense. But those 14,000 year old rock shelters in Pennsylvania and Virgina had to be reached by traversing the western united states. It is a little disconcerting that a substantial amount of confirmed evidence of Paleolithic human remains have rarely been found outside the eastern United States.

    But I agree that we just have not looked hard enough. Paleoanthropology as a scientific discipline does not exactly get a lot of funding.

    Agreed. That fits since any culture with boats would be using them for hunting/fishing and stay coastal near their food sources.

    Which would be easier in 16,000 BCE: Traversing the entire continent or floating/walking over from northern Europe?

    I'm inclined to think there were multiple migrations of humans arriving in the Americas over times even if it was only one tribe at a time.
