      That's reasonable. Might as well say my shovel found it. By what reason would you have it any other way? The same was suggested of those that were trained and directed by Leakey. That they should be given the credit for discovering the remains of early Man. Leakey was the brain, they were the braun. What an immature ridiculous proposition. Why not send the 19 year old student around the country to give talks and write scientific papers on how he found it.

    If there were some strange things happening around Columbus and the early Spanish conquistadors, it has to be remembered that they had just come from a 700 year attempt to free their country from foreign invaders. They had to be brutal and many probably were. However the priests and many of those on expeditions fought against the brutality towards the natives. Nothing is perfect in this world. But Columbus and the conquistadores did bring culture to our world. There was good and there was bad. California needs to thank the Spanish for citrus, grapes (the CA wine culture), olives, etc.

They did some research and had discovered that two soldiers were left behind to get the gold they had discovered there, but the Natives had probably killed them. Who knows if it was true but sure was an interesting tale that seemed honest at the time.
