When Were the Americas Populated?
evil agent passes along an article in Scientific American reporting that new radiocarbon dating techniques have cast doubt on the accepted story of how the Americas were populated. In the traditional view, "[M]igrants out of northeast Asia slipped into the Americas bearing finely shaped stone projectiles, so-called 'Clovis points,' after the town in New Mexico where they were first uncovered. This Clovis culture rapidly spread throughout the empty continents and by 1,000 years after their arrival had reached the southernmost tip of what is now South America, making them the original ancestors of indigenous Americans." The new dating of Clovis sites suggests that "Clovis" was not a people, but rather a technology. That is, a new and more efficient method of making arrowheads for hunting spread rapidly through a pre-existing population in both North and South America, over at most 350 years.
Damn, owned!
What do you mean by that? Poorly thought out name-calling rants that don't actually address anything the original poster wrote is considered the criteria for being "owned".
If PopeRatzo had written of you:
You skin headed mother fucker. You terse verbiage indicates that your mom whored herself out to rich old, fat, ugly men in exchange for education (your punctuation is wonderful) and yet you discredit her by using racist slave terms like "owned". You little backstabbing bastard.
I doubt you'd consider that a valid response to your response.
The dude was an obvious Troll and you need to reconsider your own education, considering that you left off a question mark at the end of a question in your first post. Also, you'd be wrong if you called me a skin-head since I'm a black man. Which reminds me of the futility of racial-name calling over the internet and further reinforces my satisfaction in my decision to congratulate a post that denounces such a sad attempt at trolling.
The eternal struggle of good vs. evil begins within one's self.
