    Anyone who studies the Great Basin region and walks along the ancient lakes and river bottoms is highly likely to find points in Utah, Nevada, California, etc. The best places to look are on high ground close to ancient lake beds. Occasionally, you'll also find rings of stone on the ground, which are the remnants of family and individual shelters. A lot of large game lived in this region 10k years ago--bison, Mammoth, camels, horses, etc. The region was mostly grassland and forests back then. I luv walking this ground. Utterly quiet. Extremely serene and beautiful.

    Complete nonsense. Europeans did nothing of the sort to corn. Its modern form was well established thousands of years earlier. If you went back to precontact america you'd recognize it just fine and it wouldn't taste any different

    • @MountainJohn
      @MountainJohn 2 месяца назад

      Hi Js-wp4gs Native Americans were the first to transform teosinte-a wild grass with tiny, tough kernels-into early maize through selective breeding. Their innovations increased the cob size, kernel quantity, and edibility, making maize a staple food in the Americas. When European settlers encountered maize, they spread it globally, but it was in the United States, particularly in the 19th and 20th centuries, that breeding efforts intensified to create the large, sweet, yellow corn we commonly see today. American agriculturalists focused heavily on increasing the sugar content, size, and overall yield of corn through more advanced hybrid breeding techniques and eventually genetic modification. This led to the development of modern varieties like sweet corn, which are larger, have higher sugar content, and feature distinct yellow kernels. In contrast, Mexican and European maize varieties continued to prioritize hardiness and versatility for different culinary uses, rather than size or sweetness​. While Meso Americans made corn into the larger and edible maize (corn) it was the European blooded "Americans" who in the 20's and 30's made "Corn" as we call it the giant yellow ultra high fructose grain we know today.

    The majority of California used to be a lush marsh/grassland. With about the most fertile soil ever. Lots of game to be hunted. Tons of obsidian to be quarried in the sierras, and Monterey chert at the coast. I’ve got a friend with probably close to a hundred stone points from the California north coast around the rivers and creeks. There is plenty there if you know when and where to look. But you’re not finding piles of hundreds pouring out of an eroded river bank.
