I am NOT so much as questioning pre clovis.
And I am fully aware of many anomalous finds myself,
some of which have been rather "Creatively" explained
away by the mainstream. My question was aimed at
those who uphold to the "Land Bridge" hypothesis.
My question wasn't rhetorical, but meant to express
the problem in a manner that people aren't accustomed
to thinking.
We are told that the Americas were peopled at a
specific time because of the conditions that existed
at the end of the glacial period. But there were
other glacial periods, and those conditions were
pretty much the same at the end of all of them. WHAT'S
MORE, those conditions existed towards the beginning!
Think about it: As the glaciers were growing, there
came a point where they trapped so much water that
sea levels dropped, but not enough YET so that they
blocked access to the Americas... right?
If we take __The Reason__ for the peopling of the
Americas when it officially happened, THAT REASON
existed many times. They had to come here a very,
very long time ago. Yet that logical conclusion is
ignored. It's not refuted, it's not scoffed it's
ignored.
That was my point.
So we need a DIFFERENT REASON for saying that they
didn't come here. No, not the lack of a land
bridge -- there were many -- but some other reason.
...technological developments: Clothing. Tools.
Boats. Physical adaptations, like maybe a new mtDNA
line that allowed them to trek through the Siberian
cold...
There is a great deal missing from the official,
mainstream model. This is what I was pointing
out.
