Did they replace him with someone that knows about the new evidence of people here way before the Clovis? Just like some of the indigenous people say. They have been here forever. There have been footprints that are said to be dated 23,000 years old and there is proof of humans in the Amazon. We've been lied to this whole time and the Natives were telling the truth.

George was a slave on the McJunkin ranch. After the civil war he went out on his own getting work as a cowboy. As a slave he had but one name. He got tired saying “l’m George, formerly of the McJunkin ranch” and decided to just adopt the name McJunkin as his own. When George discovered the bones he knew it was a big deal and he contacted the guy from The university in Denver but he didn’t investigate until after George passed on. There was a Rodeo in Colorado named after George since he was a top notch cowboy. Don’t know if it still exists.

In the winter of 1992, a construction crew in San Diego, California started cutting into the rocks that flanked the State 54 Highway, in a bid to widen the road. Those rocks hailed from the Pleistocene period and were rich in Ice Age fossils, so scientists from the San Diego Museum of Natural History accompanied the crew to recover whatever they unearthed. Among bits of horse, camel, dire wolf, and ground sloth, they found the remains of a single mastodon-an extinct mammoth-like animal. “And we noticed there was something different about it,” says Thomas Deméré, who was part of the team.Based on several lines of evidence-the way the bones are broken, the way they lay, the presence of large stones that show curious patterns of wear and are out-of-place in the surrounding sediment-the team think that early humans used rocks to hammer their way into the mastodon’s bones. That wouldn’t have been contentious in itself, but the team also claims that the bones from the “Cerruti Mastodon” are 130,000 years old. That would push back the earliest archaeological evidence for humans in North America by a whopping 115,000 years. Edit: This article was take from the Atlantic and it's about the article written in "Nature". It destroys "clovis first" dogma entirely and that's why they didn't publish it for 20 years as this occurred in the early 1990's. Let's be honest about something. If they're lying about this what else are they lying about? People have been here in the Americas far longer than they are letting on. Why would they want to cover that up? That's the real question.
The Clovis model is no longer taught in college anymore. There’s been new evidence that there were multiple great migrations/ a constant stream of people since before the ice passage opened. People made their way down the great kelp highway on boats.
@Michael Seybold So why are South American Tribes genetically linked to Aboriginal Australians but North American Aboriginals are not? It would imply a people able to navigate oceans and deep sea thousands if not 10s of thousands of years earlier than we thought. Would it not?
@@michaelseybold1743 And Imagine, after all those migrations, not one of those groups invented the wheel or learned how to smelt iron. They basically walked everywhere and carried or dragged everything.
Clovis and Folsom points are highly sought after by collectors. Clovis points have been found all over North America. I found my first spear point when I was very young, been hooked on precolumbian artifacts and way of life ever since. Ive found dozens of points since that time that range Mississippian and Woodland period points to early archaic and even a few paleo points and tools that are very old. Relic and artifact collecting is very popular in the US especially in the southeast where you can find native american artifacts laying in farm fields.
When I was growing up in the 90s, our hunting club had a nice display of arrow and spear heads found on the club's tracts of land. And thinking back, MANY of them were fluted Clovis points, and I don't think any of us had any idea how special they were.
JRE is one of those podcasts that you always get something new and interesting that you probably haven’t heard of yet and has experts who describe things in a way that everyone can comprehend and grasp! Thanks joe for always being a honest and interesting man that you are brother!!
His theory “Clovis first” is a dated one. People existed in the Americas much before. All the Native Americans, Mayans, and other tribes in South America are legacy culture of the older times. Most of stuff he’s saying is factually incorrect
Yeah he had me until climate change. How do explain the climate change that he opened before pick up trucks?? A fact libtards hate… wildfires and volcanoes produce exponentially higher carbon gasses than all human activity combined. If anything causes greenhouse effects, we know it’s sun darkening amounts of atmospheric smoke.
Fascinating. Need to get this individual on more often. Harkens back to old school JRE. Secondly, despite the absurdity of early archeology in America and how much Clovis influenced the discussion, providing a venue to acknowledge early American cultures are appreciated.
I'm from Crownpoint NM, in 1970s our old fallin apart history books contained lessons on the Clovis people, sloths, wooly mammoth, different dinosaurs etc
John Hancock had a house in the neighborhood I grew up in in what is now Boston. They never told us. The stairs to his Beacon Hill, Boston house were moved to a park nearby too - I walked up and down them and never knew.
I wish he would have a guest that talks about something completely crazy and see what the viewer comments and number of views about the video on something so untrue, that people still believe it..
One of the 1st Mountain Men (1780's) wintered over with Indian Tribe. He wrote that the old Chief told him the story of the Chief as a young man participated in the last hunt of the Great Beasts. And described Woolly Mammoths exactly.
Clovis man had a very old settlement that was discovered just West of Houston on the Katy prairie along the Cypress river. When it was discovered it completely shut down the building of the 99 freeway that was under construction. It was discovered from the site they had been trading with other peoples that lived North of around Galveston at the time
Beautiful stone points! One of the hardest points to make! Those Clovis flutes require an INSANE amount of precision flaking. I NEVER managed to pop the flutes off in all my attempts. Could get the edges shaped, but NEVER did i get close to finishing one without shattering a perfectly good piece!
I learned the hard way, that I had been trained to make woodland and archaic points, while the paleo need to be thicker to get through the thick hides. Once I began to leave the points thicker, the shattering stopped. --Also by using indirect percussion on the flutes made for better success. and the key is preparation on the on the bottom strike area & creating channel flakes.
My thought as he mentioned never used blades, was that maybe not ceremonial but a supply to replace a lost or broken one. I was thinking you didn’t make a single blade, you made several over time, maybe even traded, etc.
This guy doesn't seem to be much of a critical thinker. If you find tools that didn't seem to be used, isn't it more likely that the tool just hadn't been used yet? Or that it was just well maintained? IDK this guy is a constant string of bad critical thinking. Like saying that finding clovis points all over america indicates that their society was in all those places. Isn't it far more likely that they just traded the points with many different tribes, who then may have traded them with others? Or that the skill was more widespread across multiple cultures than we assume?
@@N8Dulcimer As he mentioned latter in the clip, there are burial sites where the points have been found covered in dye buried with the remains. As with anything in archeology it's impossible to be certain as to the motivations of the people who made these sites, but it does suggest the points held ceremonial value. It's not entirely clear in this clip, but "Clovis culture" is what is known as an archeological culture, that is it is defined by a common set of artifacts. There is an active debate in archeology whether or not shared material culture is indicative of shared culture more generally, particularly when only a small fraction of items are expected to be preserved to present day. Not sure what Flores believes, but it is normal to discuss the wide range of the Clovis archeological culture while remaining skeptical that there was a uniform culture across that range.
@@N8Dulcimerclovis isn't referring to a singular tribe It's the term used to describe all tribes with similar cultural elements Clovis people consisted of multiple tribes. You talk of critical thinking but you struggle with it too it seems
This is my home town and it’s beautiful to me especially when it rains and that’s rare and the wild flowers come out. Yeah there is nothing for young people to do but to me it wild and beautiful.

i am currently reading Dan Flores's Wild New World book. It is one of the saddest and most powerful views of this country Ive ever read. Dr Flores research and honesty is brave and true. It explains so much of why we are currently in political and social and natural upheaval. I thank him deeply for this courageous and enlightening history truthfully told.
I tried to read that book....your right. It's one of the saddest books I've ever almost read. Had to stop reading it, it litteraly made me cry. I'll try reading it again with a brave heart.
It is so cool in my retirement to walk the creeks here in the mid-west and find flint arrowheads and clovis points. The time frame of these points are 150 to 10,000 years old.

I live near the Clovis burial in Montana that was referenced. We do have genonomic data from the burial and it was used to help determine that he was closely related to native people of central and south america who would have come from common ancestry in Siberia. A site nearby was recently discovered with two Clovis camp sites at 11k feet which will be the highest elevation evidence to date.
Funny, the iceman found in the Alps that had been frozen for thousands of years had DNA in a much better preserved state. Scientist claimed the DNA wasn't good enough to make any claims about relationships to present DNA. I've heard that there isn't enough DNA left to do any tests on bones hundreds of years old much less a thousand plus years. So I'm very skeptical about any claims about DNA found and tested that old.
The discovery of the Clovis people and the Folsom people not only revolutionized our understanding of North American history, but also revealed the incredible ingenuity and skill of these early human populations. Their unique fluted points, made from high-quality flint and obsidian, were not only functional tools but also artistic expressions of their culture. It's fascinating to learn that these early Americans, who lived thousands of years ago, had such a deep understanding of their environment and were able to create complex tools that are still admired today. The fact that they spread throughout the continent, from the Southeast to New England, shows the resilience and adaptability of these ancient peoples. The Clovis people's story is a testament to the rich and diverse history of North America, and it reminds us that there is still so much to learn about our ancient ancestors.

One of my professors in college had a similar story where they found a prehistoric Bison kill site that would potentially change dates that placed people in Oklahoma earlier than we originally thought.
I grew up on the coast in Massachusetts about 25 miles north of Boston. There are beaches where pre 1620 North Americans lived at least part of the time for a very long time. Especially after a good storm has churned the sands up in a short period of time looking you can find broken arrowheads, spearheads, pieces of knives. There is one spot where stone nappers would either gather together to work or generations of nappers worked alone, but for many many years, because there are a lot of discarded chips, and half arrow/spear heads/knife blades, where some people had started a project but the the arrowhead broke before completion so was left, discarded as trash. A friend of mine has drawers of chips and pieces she has collected ever since she was a little girl.
Joe. Ask him about the Tartarians. Ever wonder why there is Greco-Roman architecture not only in Greece and Rome, but also in Africa, Russia, United States, South America. In all of the downtowns in all of the major cities of the world. Almost like some kind of civilization reset happened , and we found all these buildings . And Wild people will Ofc set up shop on the ruins left over , A.K.A. “Freemasonry” it was free buildings left over from the worldwide dominate society that came before us.
The meadowcroft rock shelter, cactus hill virginia, the gault site in texas, and the ancient footprints in new mexico are all evidence of pre-clovis habitation of the americas… the Cerutti mastadon site as well. There are petroglyph sites all around america that date to 12+ thousand years ago. I hope he gets into this. There has only been one clovis burial ever found…. He makes it seem like there is multiple when he speaks of “a burial in montana”.
Blue fish caves in Yukon territory in Canada, mammoth bones with human cut marks on them were found in the caves. The mammoth bones were radio carbon dated to 24,000 years ago.
I read somewhere that humans crossed from Russia to Alaska over the yet to flood Bering Strait in 21000 BC and from the people crossing the Bering Strait in Alaska, the first known settlers in Nashville, TN was in 13000 BC so that theoretically it 8000 years to get from the Bering Strait to Nashville. Also, the reason that the Nashville (NHL) Predators are called the Predators is because of the remains of a saber tooth tiger that was found at the arena's site in 1971. That saber tooth tiger was carbon dated to be over 9000 years old.
Mexico’s indigenous DNA genetic has Siberian traces, There’s so much investigation going on in Latin America on the history and philosophy of today’s indigenous and their ancestors. It’s being adapted to counter capitalism’s destructive ideas. Enrique Dussel of México would be a great guest on the podcast to explain this.
The Bering Straight theory has already been debunked. The majority of Natives had already been in the North American continent long before the Bering Straight transmigration might have happened. The majority of the people who populated North America 20,000 years came from the Southern Continent or across the Atlantic Ocean.
I find it draining to have lots of information in my brain not well known to the public, and also have a beginner understanding of it. Like how do I begin to explain to someone that our entire history is a mere speck in humanity

Did you know that the Virgen of Guadalupe’s visions were written in Náhuatl an are as relevant as the Gospels of Jesus? His take on universal history from Africa going east to America which he calls the eastern edge of the world because history traveled this direction. History is Eurocentric and he’s dismantling that world view.

Perhaps they weren’t left unused for ceremonial purposes, but for preparation purposes. Stone blades break and wear down so maybe they made ones in advance anticipating one breaking so that they were always prepared.
I find artifacts but I don't know if they are Clovis. Mostly ancient tools and stone effigies we find in Pennsylvania don't appear to be Clovis but they aren't random by any means.
Some of the highest concentration of Clovis points have been found on Marylands Eastern Shore on the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. Sites like Paw Paw cove, Tilghman Island, Parsons Island, Meekins Neck have yielded numbers of points unparalleled in North America.
On the Topic of Native Americans, I am Born of the Choctaw Tribe My Parents always instilled in me we are Not Native to America We are Native of Northeast Asia and I'm Proud of that.

06:40 The most important and distinctive characteristic of Solutrean lithic techniques is the bifacial percussion-flaked points present in most Solutrean artifacts. This characteristic provides the primary foundation for evidence in support of the Hypothesis, as Solutrean and Clovis points share this commonality. The Clovis culture is a prehistoric Paleoamerican culture, named for distinct stone tools found near Clovis, New Mexico. When observed, both of these tools share common aesthetic features which have led to the speculation that Clovis points derived from Solutrean techniques.[12]

It's hard not to laugh at the conventional history of north America.

My father found a 9.5 inch Clovis spear point on our farm in Northeast Iowa. 10k years old. Big bones, fossils and Arrowheads are commonly found on our property. It is an exceptionally fertile land. Sad to see it destroyed.
There’s a cultural disconnect because academics rarely talk to Native Americans regarding these things. Flint blades were more than just tools. They were symbols for many things including the spark of life and that which opens our understanding. Talk to Native Americans after reading your academic books for deeper understanding. Or just read academia and think you know what you’re talking about.
I've never learned about any native culture before, what would you suggest? I live in WNY, do you have anything on the federation of tribes there, it could be culture or religion.
If the Clovis people were able to overhunt all animals in North America, why didn't Africa or Europe have all its animals extinct? Considering those continents had humans earlier than in North America.
They never said "overhunt ALL animals", they're talking about megafauna. How many offspring can an elephant have in a year, vs animals like rabbits or deer? How long does it take for an elephant to mature to breeding age, compared to smaller animals?
Europe almost did at the end of the ice age. Groups migrated across iceself from Europe to east coast, they found some of their points near the Chesapeake bay. They are called Solutreans or ethnic Japheths I believe.
@jasonbritt2497 Sure they did. Where did you get that information? I mean the Solutreans primarily hunted seals and seabirds. Last time I checked those animals haven't gone extinct
South Carolina is home to the Topper Site where Clovis people lived. We hold a lot of ancient history of the natives but it’s either stuck in some universities labs or destroyed. It’s still dug in today, clothing and bone fragments have been found there dating back before 12,000 years ago.
@@moonknight4053 they were the predecessors of native Americans. The Clovis people are called many names - Clovis, Topper but not the first people.

Few fingers and other bone fragments.
@@StubbsMillingCo. That’s a shame I thought they were the same as native Americans. You could argue thou that they were right? I don’t think natives have been in the Americas for as long as what scientists have said
@@moonknight4053 What textbooks and historians refer to as “Native Americans” were not Native. They were only seen that way when Europeans (Spanish in SC first then French) arrived. They inhabited the land so they were seen as the native people. Though tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of years prior the Clovis people inhabited North America. They spread from Texas to the Carolinas and from Florida to southern Virginia. They are what we think of when we think of native Americans. Simple people. Far simpler than NA’s and they were an extremly simple people. Yes they fought and killed etc etc that’s humans. We’re tribal. Though what killed the Clovis is not certain. Famine? Pillaging? Diseases from Africa (Mansa Musa sent many ships West from West Africa in the late 1300s) or the more “conspiracy loon” theory that I myself would agree with just on anatomy and physical features that it was probably sea nomads or some other Asian-pacific group(s) that came from the West Coast and met Clovis peoples somewhere along the way and bred. Creating native Americans. Those people died out and left their offspring who dominated NA until the 1800s. There are artifacts found in New Mexico that resemble Asians that are tens of thousands of years old… there are mounds depicting dragons in the south eastern US….. hmmm 🤔
@@StubbsMillingCo. I see what your saying, that’s very interesting to take into consideration.

I recommend anyone who was interested in this to do some research on the Haida people/Haida Nation. The lowest estimates show them inhabiting an island (Haida Gwaii) off the coast of British Columbia for 12,000 years. Highest estimates are closer to 20,000 years. Early European conquests described them as being like vikings in some cases. A truly amazing people that is still around and kicking ass.

No way early humans drove all the Pleistocene animals to extinction. The model "docile animals not used to humans" only worked where there were no predators. Such as the large flightless birds on Pacific islands. In north America there were tons of predators like the short faced bear, American lion and tiger. The humans in North America would have a tough time surviving let alone decimating the animal population. I disagree with is theory but Dan has done some amazing work and love hearing him on JRE.
I mean it's crazy, humans were supposedly so primitive but at the same time capable of decimating huge mega mammals to absolute extinction, even though they would be vastly outnumbered. I mean woolly mammoths alone had a reported population of over 10 million and 50 thousand of us killed all of them with pointed flint spears? Killed them so fast they couldn't reproduce in time to avoid extinction? Oh they were scattered, right lol

The cowboy he spoke of in the beginning, George McJunkin, is a legend and stories worth reading about.
Thank you
It's a made up name , like McDonut or McBasketball. Inappropriate
@@seltonk5136W😅
What in the world are you talking about?
George was a slave on the McJunkin ranch. After the civil war he went out on his own getting work as a cowboy. As a slave he had but one name. He got tired saying “l’m George, formerly of the McJunkin ranch” and decided to just adopt the name McJunkin as his own. When George discovered the bones he knew it was a big deal and he contacted the guy from The university in Denver but he didn’t investigate until after George passed on. There was a Rodeo in Colorado named after George since he was a top notch cowboy. Don’t know if it still exists.

More Dan Flores, please!!!!! I love listening to and learning from academics who possess a natural flair for storytelling. Dan Flores' appearance on Parts Unknown with the late Anthony Bourdain was all too short, it's wonderful to see him speak at length on this show!!!
Check out Enrique Dussel, he’s a renowned philosopher and historian. His work on native Americans is sublime
In the winter of 1992, a construction crew in San Diego, California started cutting into the rocks that flanked the State 54 Highway, in a bid to widen the road. Those rocks hailed from the Pleistocene period and were rich in Ice Age fossils, so scientists from the San Diego Museum of Natural History accompanied the crew to recover whatever they unearthed. Among bits of horse, camel, dire wolf, and ground sloth, they found the remains of a single mastodon-an extinct mammoth-like animal. “And we noticed there was something different about it,” says Thomas Deméré, who was part of the team.Based on several lines of evidence-the way the bones are broken, the way they lay, the presence of large stones that show curious patterns of wear and are out-of-place in the surrounding sediment-the team think that early humans used rocks to hammer their way into the mastodon’s bones. That wouldn’t have been contentious in itself, but the team also claims that the bones from the “Cerruti Mastodon” are 130,000 years old. That would push back the earliest archaeological evidence for humans in North America by a whopping 115,000 years.
Edit: This article was take from the Atlantic and it's about the article written in "Nature". It destroys "clovis first" dogma entirely and that's why they didn't publish it for 20 years as this occurred in the early 1990's. Let's be honest about something. If they're lying about this what else are they lying about? People have been here in the Americas far longer than they are letting on. Why would they want to cover that up? That's the real question.
The Clovis model is no longer taught in college anymore. There’s been new evidence that there were multiple great migrations/ a constant stream of people since before the ice passage opened. People made their way down the great kelp highway on boats.

Graham Hancock’s book explains the San Diego site the same way!
@Michael Seybold So why are South American Tribes genetically linked to Aboriginal Australians but North American Aboriginals are not? It would imply a people able to navigate oceans and deep sea thousands if not 10s of thousands of years earlier than we thought. Would it not?

Clovis and Folsom points are highly sought after by collectors. Clovis points have been found all over North America. I found my first spear point when I was very young, been hooked on precolumbian artifacts and way of life ever since. Ive found dozens of points since that time that range Mississippian and Woodland period points to early archaic and even a few paleo points and tools that are very old. Relic and artifact collecting is very popular in the US especially in the southeast where you can find native american artifacts laying in farm fields.
Have you ever heard the song Banded Clovis by Tyler Childers? Tell as dastardly tale of a hunt for a Clovis point.
Best thing I ever found is a granite 3/4 groove ax found in NE Georgia from the Woodland Period.
Very true .. a very sought after point and very rare
When I was growing up in the 90s, our hunting club had a nice display of arrow and spear heads found on the club's tracts of land. And thinking back, MANY of them were fluted Clovis points, and I don't think any of us had any idea how special they were.

His theory “Clovis first” is a dated one. People existed in the Americas much before. All the Native Americans, Mayans, and other tribes in South America are legacy culture of the older times. Most of stuff he’s saying is factually incorrect

Beautiful stone points! One of the hardest points to make! Those Clovis flutes require an INSANE amount of precision flaking. I NEVER managed to pop the flutes off in all my attempts. Could get the edges shaped, but NEVER did i get close to finishing one without shattering a perfectly good piece!
I learned the hard way, that I had been trained to make woodland and archaic points, while the paleo need to be thicker to get through the thick hides. Once I began to leave the points thicker, the shattering stopped. --Also by using indirect percussion on the flutes made for better success. and the key is preparation on the on the bottom strike area & creating channel flakes.
My thought as he mentioned never used blades, was that maybe not ceremonial but a supply to replace a lost or broken one. I was thinking you didn’t make a single blade, you made several over time, maybe even traded, etc.
Glad to see him back on the podcast. Interesting view points I haven't heard off. Will have to watch the full episode
"ceremonial" is one of those words that historians and archeologists use, when they have no idea why an object exists.
More like ritualistic.
@@_thevaporz no, they legitimately use ceremonial as a buzz word
This guy doesn't seem to be much of a critical thinker. If you find tools that didn't seem to be used, isn't it more likely that the tool just hadn't been used yet? Or that it was just well maintained? IDK this guy is a constant string of bad critical thinking. Like saying that finding clovis points all over america indicates that their society was in all those places. Isn't it far more likely that they just traded the points with many different tribes, who then may have traded them with others? Or that the skill was more widespread across multiple cultures than we assume?
@@N8Dulcimer As he mentioned latter in the clip, there are burial sites where the points have been found covered in dye buried with the remains. As with anything in archeology it's impossible to be certain as to the motivations of the people who made these sites, but it does suggest the points held ceremonial value.
It's not entirely clear in this clip, but "Clovis culture" is what is known as an archeological culture, that is it is defined by a common set of artifacts. There is an active debate in archeology whether or not shared material culture is indicative of shared culture more generally, particularly when only a small fraction of items are expected to be preserved to present day. Not sure what Flores believes, but it is normal to discuss the wide range of the Clovis archeological culture while remaining skeptical that there was a uniform culture across that range.
@@N8Dulcimerclovis isn't referring to a singular tribe
It's the term used to describe all tribes with similar cultural elements
Clovis people consisted of multiple tribes.
You talk of critical thinking but you struggle with it too it seems

The discovery of the Clovis people and the Folsom people not only revolutionized our understanding of North American history, but also revealed the incredible ingenuity and skill of these early human populations. Their unique fluted points, made from high-quality flint and obsidian, were not only functional tools but also artistic expressions of their culture. It's fascinating to learn that these early Americans, who lived thousands of years ago, had such a deep understanding of their environment and were able to create complex tools that are still admired today. The fact that they spread throughout the continent, from the Southeast to New England, shows the resilience and adaptability of these ancient peoples. The Clovis people's story is a testament to the rich and diverse history of North America, and it reminds us that there is still so much to learn about our ancient ancestors.

The most important and distinctive characteristic of Solutrean lithic techniques is the bifacial percussion-flaked points present in most Solutrean artifacts. This characteristic provides the primary foundation for evidence in support of the Hypothesis, as Solutrean and Clovis points share this commonality. The Clovis culture is a prehistoric Paleoamerican culture, named for distinct stone tools found near Clovis, New Mexico. When observed, both of these tools share common aesthetic features which have led to the speculation that Clovis points derived from Solutrean techniques.[12]

If the Clovis people were able to overhunt all animals in North America, why didn't Africa or Europe have all its animals extinct? Considering those continents had humans earlier than in North America.
They never said "overhunt ALL animals", they're talking about megafauna. How many offspring can an elephant have in a year, vs animals like rabbits or deer? How long does it take for an elephant to mature to breeding age, compared to smaller animals?
Europe almost did at the end of the ice age. Groups migrated across iceself from Europe to east coast, they found some of their points near the Chesapeake bay. They are called Solutreans or ethnic Japheths I believe.
@@jasonbritt2497what’s your source?
Climate change killed the mega fauna not humans
@jasonbritt2497 Sure they did. Where did you get that information? I mean the Solutreans primarily hunted seals and seabirds. Last time I checked those animals haven't gone extinct
Joe you need to interview Robert Kennedy Jr
South Carolina is home to the Topper Site where Clovis people lived. We hold a lot of ancient history of the natives but it’s either stuck in some universities labs or destroyed. It’s still dug in today, clothing and bone fragments have been found there dating back before 12,000 years ago.
We’re Clovis pretty much the same as native Americans?
@@moonknight4053 they were the predecessors of native Americans. The Clovis people are called many names - Clovis, Topper but not the first people. They were descendants of migrant groups from Asia as the Ice Age came to and end. Not much information on them, it’s lost history. Just prices of pots and skins from animals used for clothing. Few fingers and other bone fragments.
@@StubbsMillingCo. That’s a shame I thought they were the same as native Americans. You could argue thou that they were right? I don’t think natives have been in the Americas for as long as what scientists have said
@@moonknight4053 What textbooks and historians refer to as “Native Americans” were not Native. They were only seen that way when Europeans (Spanish in SC first then French) arrived. They inhabited the land so they were seen as the native people. Though tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of years prior the Clovis people inhabited North America. They spread from Texas to the Carolinas and from Florida to southern Virginia. They are what we think of when we think of native Americans. Simple people. Far simpler than NA’s and they were an extremly simple people. Yes they fought and killed etc etc that’s humans. We’re tribal. Though what killed the Clovis is not certain. Famine? Pillaging? Diseases from Africa (Mansa Musa sent many ships West from West Africa in the late 1300s) or the more “conspiracy loon” theory that I myself would agree with just on anatomy and physical features that it was probably sea nomads or some other Asian-pacific group(s) that came from the West Coast and met Clovis peoples somewhere along the way and bred. Creating native Americans. Those people died out and left their offspring who dominated NA until the 1800s. There are artifacts found in New Mexico that resemble Asians that are tens of thousands of years old… there are mounds depicting dragons in the south eastern US….. hmmm 🤔
@@StubbsMillingCo. I see what your saying, that’s very interesting to take into consideration. I’m not Native American but have always loved that culture since I was a wee boy probably because of the cultural similarities with mine.
Wow quite the shock for me to read this from you, how long do you think the native Americans I speak of, have been in the Americas for? I honestly feel like they were there for as long as the Clovis people were too
Native Americans have such a unique look to them, i always believed they were in the Americas since time started
Great video 👏 great guest thanks Joe 😊
I learned about the Clovis people some time ago in university and was fascinated by them. I understand that there has been recent agreement in the scholastic community that they were not the first people?
Sand dune site in NM dated at 20,000 years ago. Shows footprints. Pseudoscience archaeology will claim way later but the best site we have is that NM site.
@@colew306 There is also Monte Verde, Gault, ect...
Topper is another site with far older remains than the Clovis sites
@@mjbradshaw Yeah Gault's an interesting one but I don't think they ever got anything later than 16,000 years ago. and obviously Monte Verde is interesting simply with the combination of its dating/location at 14,000 years ago.
@@colew306 The only pseudoscience these days is coming from the archaeo-priesthood in North american universities. The same clowns who poo-pooed the Younger Dryas events until very recently... and begrudgingly, at that.
Mammoth theory seems plausible but doesn't explain why all large fauna died off around the same time.
or why so many are barriered in flood water sediment.
You don't think humans are capable of wiping out species?
@@colew306 Look up 'plausible'.
@@hebber1961 But it does explain a large population of mega-fauna dying off. People hunted them down cause were hungry. Sprinkle in some climate change and boom, no more big stuff - only small herding animals that reproduce quickly.
@@colew306 we are, but it's very specific to North America.
Humans didn't make the Indian elephant or the Red Kangaroo go extinct.
“Some fancy archeologist” 😂
Why is this episode hidden on Spotify?! You have to search it out by episode vs being on the recent page
Folsom groups, also called Folsom peoples or Folsom culture , occupied all of Colorado between about 13,000 and 12,000 years ago. They were not the first people in these areas, although they might have been the first in some newly unglaciated portions of the high Rockies. Had to look it up.
Years ago I found a folsom point while hunting prairie dogs a few miles north of Sterling, CO. There's all kinds of fossils and Native American artifacts in that area. There's literally pieces of worked flint scattered everywhere
It's a rad prison. All leftists should visit sometime.
Well that got political
Please have comedian Dave Landau on your show it will make dreams come true.

Is this now being taught in our history classes in schools? It brings about a whole new perspective about our country.
I recommend anyone who was interested in this to do some research on the Haida people/Haida Nation. The lowest estimates show them inhabiting an island (Haida Gwaii) off the coast of British Columbia for 12,000 years. Highest estimates are closer to 20,000 years. Early European conquests described them as being like vikings in some cases. A truly amazing people that is still around and kicking ass.
There were people in America LONG before Clovis. Wow I thought this was common knowledge now?!
Moors.
They’ll never teach on the Moors lol
They'll never teach about the moors because they are not part of the history of the American continent.
@@OasesKing not moors lol much earlier than moors. The moors werent stone age people. Try to keep up.
@@_thevaporz lol no
What fascinates me are the rare artifacts that have been found that date back thousands of years before Clovis. Who were they? They coulda been different hominids for all we know.
I believe they recently found traces of "ghost DNA" of previously unknown extinct human species in a small population in Africa somewhere.
THANK YOU *JRE*
Great story teller
@@Robot50000 true
Stoked. Imma leave this and watch the whole ep on Spotify with a fattie when I get home.
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍
Did he just say that the Clovis people pretty much hunted the NA Megafauna to extinction?
yeah we know from randall carlson that's not true right?
@Orange juice I mean Randall Carlson's explanation and evidence makes more sense than "Muh Humans killed all da big animuhls". Why would they kill for just sport and let all that meat go to waste?
@@ArmaedusGaming no but there's evidence that that is ridiculous. Humans did not wipe out megafauna
It's a theory that is just not not plausible, it just sounds cool
Excellent guest, Dan is a great speaker and pulls me into these stories beautifully...
other podcasters need to learn from joe, let your guys talk uninterrupted when they are on a roll and focus on this amazing material they are telling you and give amazing questions, JRE is always gunna be the best
Somebody pls tell Pim Tool
@@parfner666lmfao
Thank you joe for bring him on your podcast and sharing this information to the people
Dr. Flores was my favorite professor. Super nice guy, knowledgeable, and has a huge shaft...wow
No way early humans drove all the Pleistocene animals to extinction. The model "docile animals not used to humans" only worked where there were no predators. Such as the large flightless birds on Pacific islands. In north America there were tons of predators like the short faced bear, American lion and tiger. The humans in North America would have a tough time surviving let alone decimating the animal population. I disagree with is theory but Dan has done some amazing work and love hearing him on JRE.
I mean it's crazy, humans were supposedly so primitive but at the same time capable of decimating huge mega mammals to absolute extinction, even though they would be vastly outnumbered. I mean woolly mammoths alone had a reported population of over 10 million and 50 thousand of us killed all of them with pointed flint spears? Killed them so fast they couldn't reproduce in time to avoid extinction? Oh they were scattered, right lol
Colonization drives animals extinct. Period.
I would of loved to see Steve Irwin aka The Crocodile Hunter on here. RIP mate
"Would've" does sound like "would of" but it's "would've "
Relax Karen, it’s RUclips.
@@topann97i wood huff done something
Someones been rewatching old croccy hunter lol
@@topann97 lol you would have been wrong, you're welcome ;)
I could listen to Dan Flores talk about coyotes, bones, history, native peoples, whatever. He’s very knowledgeable and easy to listen to.
If Enrique Dussel ever made it to this podcast he would be a top guest. His range in philosophy and history of America’s native people is astounding
He’s a liar
@@BigFists2024 why do you say that?
