• 21,000 year old human foot prints in New Mexico

    From RonO@21:1/5 to All on Fri Oct 6 19:51:34 2023
    https://phys.org/news/2023-09-explosion-fish-biodiversity-due-genetic.html

    They claim to have confirmed the 21,000 year estimate for the age of the
    fossil foot prints. The additional claim is that since these humans
    were present in North America 21,000 years ago (4,000 years after the
    glacial maximum) that they must have migrated into North America some
    time before because there still existed a glacial barrier between Asia
    and the Americas at that time.

    Between warm and cold periods there has been a passage between Asia and
    America from time to time. Bison came over around 400,000 years ago (3
    ice ages ago) and other animals like camels, moose and horses have
    crossed over one direction or the other. Neanderthals, Denisovans or
    even Homo erectus may have been able to cross over during certain times
    in the past. They could have just followed the animals that they ate.

    We do not seem to have the genetic evidence that these first migrants
    interbred with what came over in the last wave within the last 15,000
    years. The recent migrants would have had to do a better job at
    eliminating the resident population than the agriculturalists managed to
    do to the hunter gatherers in Europe. Maybe the early migrants didn't
    survive much past 21,000 years ago. They may have made it over during
    the previous warm interval, and may have lived in the Americas for
    100,000 years, but they never seemed to be very successful. Maybe
    something like a small family group were the only ones to make it over
    and by 21,000 years ago they may have been as much of an inbred mess as
    the last surviving Wrangel Island mammoth.

    The good Doctor posted that one... 18 years ago.

    Still, for you that's fast. Way to catch up here, speedy!

    ...and for now let's ignore the fact that you "Cite" has
    nothing to do with footprints.

    From the cited article:
    ***************************
    Dr Silvia Gonzalez of Liverpool's John Moores University and her
    colleagues found the footprints in the quarry, some 130km (80 miles)
    south-east of Mexico City, in 2003. But they have only finished dating
    them this year.

    And that article is from 2005.

    These are 2 different sites and reports; the 18 year old one is "from a
    quarry to the south west of Mexico City" later Puebla is mentioned.

    The recent one is of footprints at White Sands, New Mexico.

    It may be due to the new feature of eternal september. It is
    irritating. When you click on a thread or post eternal september opens
    a copy and it goes to a bar across the top of the window, but the post
    that gets opened only has the first part of the post, and you can't
    access the rest of the post from that window. I just reduce them and
    let them build up along the bar. This bar fills up with useless
    windows, and I cleared them before starting that last post. Sometimes
    when you are trying to delete the bit on the bar the window will expand
    to full screen. It is a really annoying feature, but I probably did
    access a cichlid post in that mess as I was cleaning it up before
    writing that post.

    As far as I know the version of eternal september that I have is
    independent of google groups and google. I made the mistake of donating
    money to eternal september and got an upgrade that wiped out the TO
    groups threads and posts that I had back to 2010. It was all treed
    unlike google, and it used to be easier to look up older posts.

    I also get two windows opened every time I click on a thread or post.
    As I said one window has only a partial copy of the post and is
    basically useless.

    From the cited article:
    ***************************
    Dr Silvia Gonzalez of Liverpool's John Moores University and her

    south-east of Mexico City, in 2003. But they have only finished dating
    them this year.
    ****************************


    And that article is from 2005.

    These are 2 different sites and reports; the 18 year old one is "from a >quarry to the south west of Mexico City" later Puebla is mentioned.

    The recent one is of footprints at White Sands, New Mexico.


    WRT the larger point, there are discoveries of multiple sites of
    pre-Clovis human habitation, many of them along the Pacific Coast.
    This suggests the first people in the New World came over water, and
    followed the coast southward, as opposed to over land through glacial
    gaps.

    It may be due to the new feature of eternal september. It is
    irritating. When you click on a thread or post eternal september opens
    a copy and it goes to a bar across the top of the window, but the post
    that gets opened only has the first part of the post, and you can't
    access the rest of the post from that window. I just reduce them and
    let them build up along the bar. This bar fills up with useless
    windows, and I cleared them before starting that last post. Sometimes
    when you are trying to delete the bit on the bar the window will expand
    to full screen. It is a really annoying feature, but I probably did
    access a cichlid post in that mess as I was cleaning it up before
    writing that post.

    Interesting. I use ES now (I used to use Supernews), but via
    Agent as a news client, so I don't see any of that. Can I
    assume you use ES "directly", the way GurgleGropes works?


    As far as I know the version of eternal september that I have is
    independent of google groups and google. I made the mistake of donating >money to eternal september and got an upgrade that wiped out the TO
    groups threads and posts that I had back to 2010. It was all treed
    unlike google, and it used to be easier to look up older posts.

    I also get two windows opened every time I click on a thread or post.
    As I said one window has only a partial copy of the post and is
    basically useless.

    Weird. As an E-S user, I have experienced nothing like you describe
    above. It sounds to me more like some incompatibility between your
    browser and newsreader, neither of which involves E-S. According to
    your headers, your newsreader is Mozilla Thunderbird or something
    based on that engine.

    I wasn't clear; I meant the reference to Gurgle to be an
    example of accessing newsgroups on the Web, rather than via
    a newsreader like Agent. From your post and from the headers
    it looks like you use a browser to access ES, and read posts
    directly on ES (something I wasn't aware was available). Is
    that correct? If it is, and if you can install software on
    the machine you use, there are free news clients such as
    Free Agent available that could solve the problem you have,
    since threads are stored locally. I have access to the first
    posts I made on this system, back in 2005. And I can copy
    and store locally any post, mine or other.

    Thanks; I missed the Thunderbird reference when I looked at

    So, Ron, if you're using a newsreader (even T'bird, I would
    assume) your threads shouldn't go away due to any ES
    upgrade. I'm assuming that T'bird stores locally like Agent.

    Eternal september does not come up in my goggle or microsoft browser.
    It is an independent window. There is a new mozilla icon that I click
    on to open eternal september, but the symbol doesn't come up in the
    eternal september window any longer. The update came right after I
    started using the killfile message blocker to killfile Nyikos.

    I just checked and the threads back to 2010 have returned, but they are
    all fragmented because all the Nykosian posts have been deleted. The
    post blocking seems to be retroactive to eternity.

    Interesting. I use ES now (I used to use Supernews), but via
    Agent as a news client, so I don't see any of that. Can I
    assume you use ES "directly", the way GurgleGropes works?


    As far as I know the version of eternal september that I have is
    independent of google groups and google. I made the mistake of donating
    money to eternal september and got an upgrade that wiped out the TO
    groups threads and posts that I had back to 2010. It was all treed
    unlike google, and it used to be easier to look up older posts.

    I also get two windows opened every time I click on a thread or post.
    As I said one window has only a partial copy of the post and is
    basically useless.

    I wasn't clear; I meant the reference to Gurgle to be an
    example of accessing newsgroups on the Web, rather than via
    a newsreader like Agent. From your post and from the headers
    it looks like you use a browser to access ES, and read posts
    directly on ES (something I wasn't aware was available). Is
    that correct? If it is, and if you can install software on
    the machine you use, there are free news clients such as
    Free Agent available that could solve the problem you have,
    since threads are stored locally. I have access to the first
    posts I made on this system, back in 2005. And I can copy
    and store locally any post, mine or other.


    I just checked and the posts back to 2010 are back, but they are
    fragmented because I've been using the "killfile" system that isn't a
    killfile system, but it deletes all posts from a given poster. All the
    threads that Nyikos participated in are cut up. It looks like Nyikos
    should have just been banned. From what I've seen other posters are
    responding to posts Nyikos is still posting to me, but they are
    responding to the crap that he spreads about other posters in his usual assoholic posting style. I did not followed Nyikos around TO with a
    pooper scooper, but others did it and still do. Nyikos likely never
    posted a productive post to me. It was pretty much all his stupid
    harassment. It should have never started, and it should have ended
    years ago.

    OK, that's a new one on me; I have zero experience with such

    When I first started using eternal september over a decade ago, I
    followed the directions that had me set up mozilla and thunderbird.
    That is how it has been from the beginning for me, and I recently
    donated to keep it going and got an upgrade, but the upgrade seems to be
    doing some strange things.

    Last night I was still getting two windows open when I clicked on a post
    or thread, but this morning that did not happen, so it may be fixed.

    Weird. As an E-S user, I have experienced nothing like you describe
    above. It sounds to me more like some incompatibility between your
    browser and newsreader, neither of which involves E-S. According to
    your headers, your newsreader is Mozilla Thunderbird or something
    based on that engine.



    Eternal september does not come up in my goggle or microsoft browser.
    It is an independent window. There is a new mozilla icon that I click
    on to open eternal september, but the symbol doesn't come up in the
    eternal september window any longer. The update came right after I
    started using the killfile message blocker to killfile Nyikos.

    I just checked and the threads back to 2010 have returned, but they are
    all fragmented because all the Nykosian posts have been deleted. The
    post blocking seems to be retroactive to eternity.

    Ron Okimoto


    Perhaps your newsreader blocks your *viewing* of filtered messages,
    but not the downloading of headers. You could test this by temporarily
    removing the filters to see if the thread fragmentation disappears.

    Not sure what you mean by "the symbol". If you're using Windows, you
    can right-click on most desktop icons, and then click on "properties".
    One of those properties is the "target" executable that Windows runs
    when you click on the icon. There's also a box to change the icon
    image. Perhaps these will give you the info you need to get it
    working like before the update.

    post several days before. It must have been something screwy about the
    eternal september copy and paste buffers.

    Usenet works in mysterious ways, its wonders to perform.

    It may be due to the new feature of eternal september. It is
    irritating. When you click on a thread or post eternal september opens
    a copy and it goes to a bar across the top of the window, but the post >>>>>> that gets opened only has the first part of the post, and you can't >>>>>> access the rest of the post from that window.

    I wasn't clear; I meant the reference to Gurgle to be an
    example of accessing newsgroups on the Web, rather than via
    a newsreader like Agent. From your post and from the headers
    it looks like you use a browser to access ES, and read posts
    directly on ES (something I wasn't aware was available). Is
    that correct? If it is, and if you can install software on
    the machine you use, there are free news clients such as
    Free Agent available that could solve the problem you have,
    since threads are stored locally. I have access to the first
    posts I made on this system, back in 2005. And I can copy
    and store locally any post, mine or other.


    I just checked and the posts back to 2010 are back, but they are
    fragmented because I've been using the "killfile" system that isn't a
    killfile system, but it deletes all posts from a given poster. All the
    threads that Nyikos participated in are cut up. It looks like Nyikos
    should have just been banned. From what I've seen other posters are
    responding to posts Nyikos is still posting to me, but they are
    responding to the crap that he spreads about other posters in his usual
    assoholic posting style. I did not followed Nyikos around TO with a
    pooper scooper, but others did it and still do. Nyikos likely never
    posted a productive post to me. It was pretty much all his stupid
    harassment. It should have never started, and it should have ended
    years ago.

    OK, that's a new one on me; I have zero experience with such
    a system. As jillery noted elsethread, the headers for your
    posts show "User-Agent: Mozilla Thunderbird", so however
    you're accessing Usenet whatever system creates the headers
    *thinks* that you're using T'bird or something related to
    it.

    FWIW, I have Nyikos killfiled, along with several others,

    Interesting. I use ES now (I used to use Supernews), but via
    Agent as a news client, so I don't see any of that. Can I

    I wasn't clear; I meant the reference to Gurgle to be an
    example of accessing newsgroups on the Web, rather than via
    a newsreader like Agent. From your post and from the headers
    it looks like you use a browser to access ES, and read posts
    directly on ES (something I wasn't aware was available). Is
    that correct? If it is, and if you can install software on
    the machine you use, there are free news clients such as
    Free Agent available that could solve the problem you have,
    since threads are stored locally. I have access to the first
    posts I made on this system, back in 2005. And I can copy
    and store locally any post, mine or other.


    I just checked and the posts back to 2010 are back, but they are
    fragmented because I've been using the "killfile" system that isn't a
    killfile system, but it deletes all posts from a given poster. All the
    threads that Nyikos participated in are cut up. It looks like Nyikos
    should have just been banned. From what I've seen other posters are
    responding to posts Nyikos is still posting to me, but they are
    responding to the crap that he spreads about other posters in his usual
    assoholic posting style. I did not followed Nyikos around TO with a
    pooper scooper, but others did it and still do. Nyikos likely never
    posted a productive post to me. It was pretty much all his stupid
    harassment. It should have never started, and it should have ended
    years ago.

    OK, that's a new one on me; I have zero experience with such
    a system. As jillery noted elsethread, the headers for your
    posts show "User-Agent: Mozilla Thunderbird", so however
    you're accessing Usenet whatever system creates the headers
    *thinks* that you're using T'bird or something related to
    it.

    FWIW, I have Nyikos killfiled, along with several others,
    but the Agent's killfile only operates on future posts, not
    on prior ones. So I'm afraid you're on your own; good luck.

    Weird. As an E-S user, I have experienced nothing like you describe
    above. It sounds to me more like some incompatibility between your
    browser and newsreader, neither of which involves E-S. According to
    your headers, your newsreader is Mozilla Thunderbird or something
    based on that engine.



    Eternal september does not come up in my goggle or microsoft browser.
    It is an independent window. There is a new mozilla icon that I click
    on to open eternal september, but the symbol doesn't come up in the
    eternal september window any longer. The update came right after I
    started using the killfile message blocker to killfile Nyikos.

    I just checked and the threads back to 2010 have returned, but they are
    all fragmented because all the Nykosian posts have been deleted. The
    post blocking seems to be retroactive to eternity.

    Ron Okimoto


    Perhaps your newsreader blocks your *viewing* of filtered messages,
    but not the downloading of headers. You could test this by temporarily removing the filters to see if the thread fragmentation disappears.

    Not sure what you mean by "the symbol". If you're using Windows, you
    can right-click on most desktop icons, and then click on "properties".
    One of those properties is the "target" executable that Windows runs
    when you click on the icon. There's also a box to change the icon
    image. Perhaps these will give you the info you need to get it
    working like before the update.

    To know less than we don't know is the nature of most knowledge


    I'd likely need to reboot the whole thing. The deletions seem to be
    permanent, in what is in the current posts. You have to keep setting
    the message blocks every time you open the program.

    The double windows glich seems to be fixed, and I am currently only
    getting one window when I click on a post or thread. I do not know why
    they were opening two window when one window only had a partial post and
    it was basically useless except for taking up space on the bar across
    the top of the tree window.

    They claim to have confirmed the 21,000 year estimate for the age of
    the fossil foot prints.  The additional claim is that since these
    humans were present in North America 21,000 years ago (4,000 years
    after the glacial maximum) that they must have migrated into North
    America some time before because there still existed a glacial barrier
    between Asia and the Americas at that time.

    Between warm and cold periods there has been a passage between Asia
    and America from time to time.  Bison came over around 400,000 years
    ago (3 ice ages ago) and other animals like camels, moose and horses
    have crossed over one direction or the other.  Neanderthals,
    Denisovans or even Homo erectus may have been able to cross over
    during certain times in the past.  They could have just followed the
    animals that they ate.

    We do not seem to have the genetic evidence that these first migrants
    interbred with what came over in the last wave within the last 15,000
    years.  The recent migrants would have had to do a better job at
    eliminating the resident population than the agriculturalists managed
    to do to the hunter gatherers in Europe.  Maybe the early migrants
    didn't survive much past 21,000 years ago.  They may have made it over
    during the previous warm interval, and may have lived in the Americas
    for 100,000 years, but they never seemed to be very successful.  Maybe
    something like a small family group were the only ones to make it over
    and by 21,000 years ago they may have been as much of an inbred mess
    as the last surviving Wrangel Island mammoth.

    The confirmed dating does present the possibility that since Homo was in
    North America 21,000 years ago that they may have existed in the
    Americas for a very long time before that. They indicate that no one
    knows if they could have crossed into the Americas at that time because
    the ice sheets had not started their major regression. If Homo had

    They claim to have confirmed the 21,000 year estimate for the age of
    the fossil foot prints.  The additional claim is that since these
    humans were present in North America 21,000 years ago (4,000 years
    after the glacial maximum) that they must have migrated into North
    America some time before because there still existed a glacial barrier
    between Asia and the Americas at that time.

    I'm not sure where I saw it, but there was speculation that
    they migrated along the coast, not overland, and would have
    been able to do so even at the glacial max; presumably they
    could have subsisted on fish and other sea life. The
    original Australians arrived by water ~50ky ago, and while
    there was no glaciation to deal with there was no land
    connection to Oz either. I suppose that now that the
    "late-arrival-only" proponents have to accept the new
    reality we'll see more research into this. Neat stuff.

    Between warm and cold periods there has been a passage between Asia
    and America from time to time.  Bison came over around 400,000 years
    ago (3 ice ages ago) and other animals like camels, moose and horses
    have crossed over one direction or the other.  Neanderthals,
    Denisovans or even Homo erectus may have been able to cross over
    during certain times in the past.  They could have just followed the
    animals that they ate.

    We do not seem to have the genetic evidence that these first migrants
    interbred with what came over in the last wave within the last 15,000
    years.  The recent migrants would have had to do a better job at
    eliminating the resident population than the agriculturalists managed
    to do to the hunter gatherers in Europe.  Maybe the early migrants
    didn't survive much past 21,000 years ago.  They may have made it over
    during the previous warm interval, and may have lived in the Americas
    for 100,000 years, but they never seemed to be very successful.  Maybe
    something like a small family group were the only ones to make it over
    and by 21,000 years ago they may have been as much of an inbred mess
    as the last surviving Wrangel Island mammoth.

    From what I recall, there was not a coastline until enough sea ice

    levels rose too high.

    Yep, the Beringia hypothesis (theory?) has enough evidence
    in support (AFAIK) to be the dominant contender for how the
    later migrations arrived, over an ice-free land bridge
    before the sea level rose enough to cover it again; it could
    be the case for the earlier ones too. But the timeframe
    seems problematic; if they arrived during the glacial max
    Beringia would have been covered by ice, would have been
    barren of game, and wouldn't have provided a dry land path.
    And I don't *think* that Beringia would have been ice-free
    during any of the Wisconsin Interstadials (I could be
    mistaken, but I haven't found any info with enough detail
    about the interstadial timings to be sure). So if they did
    arrive then, and not during a previous interglacial (almost
    impossible, given the timeline of the Wisconsin glaciation;
    150kya to 12kya), travel by water seems the only
    alternative. The Polynesians did it to settle the Pacific
    islands, and they had no more access to land during their
    travels than the proto-North Americans would have, traveling
    along the glaciated coast.

    But however it works out, it's new and fascinating
    information; I hope I'm still around to see the outcome of
    it all. :-)

    The problem here is that paleo anthropology is NOT a real science.

    It's a secular version of Biblical Archaeology, existing to confirm the
    church doctrine, "Discover" what it has long since claimed to know.

    POINT: Most of the really old archaeological sites are to the east,
    but acolytes frame everything in terms of the west coast...

    "Asia is the only route! They came from Asia! Nowhere else existed!"

    Secondly, and hold onto your hat, if they're living off the sea, fishing,
    maybe spearing seals and whatnot, they could have followed the
    ice.

    I couldn't imagine them intentionally going too far. They'd want
    to make landfall for materials such as wood and stone. But they
    may have assumed that there would be a break in the ice, and once
    committed they "Stayed the course."

    You mean like the 30,000 year old date I cited nine days ago? Gosh. We
    should call you "Swifty," you pick up on things so fast...

    They indicate that no one
    knows if they could have crossed into the Americas at that time because
    the ice sheets had not started their major regression.

    Seeing how water crossings are known from like 80,000 years earlier, in
    the Mediterranean, there may have been another route, Swifty.

    No evidence that these early humans interbred
    with the Asians that came over within the last 15,000 years.

    What would the evidence look like?

    It's stupid.

    Speaking rhetorically, you've got to think of it as a threshold.

    People started coming here as soon as they could. That's it.
    But the Americas are huge and the groups, assuming they
    were even groups, were small. But eventually there came a
    point where a threshold was crossed. The population was
    big enough so that technologies & DNA could be shared.

    The previous arrives, their descendants, probably weren't
    eaten or sent to Mars. They were bred out; genetically
    swamped by the newcomers.

    AND IT DIDN'T STOP!

    There appear to have been later arrivals from elsewhere.
    Why you or anyone else would try to pretend that later is
    okay but earlier is impossible is a mystery I care not to
    explore.
