Since we are talking historical finds this morning, here is another one for you. Essentially, there has been a find in Florida that suggests that there were people on this continent prior to the oldest civilization established prior. Because of where the new artifacts were located, it also suggests that the people were able to get here in a different way than the ways we thought before (the ice bridge up north wasn't open yet when this group was thought to be here.) Prehistoric Find: Earlier then Previously Thought Civilization That Pre-dates Clovis |

Anything that changes the status quo is always exciting to me. |

When I was a kid, my dad used to canoe on the Aucilla River. We used to play on riverbanks, which had a lot of red clay-we would pretend it was real clay and mold all kinds of animals to leave in the sun to dry. My poor mom had red clay all over the house and that stuff stains like you wouldn't believe.  I have vague recollections of my dad finding all kinds of arrow heads around there too. |

I'm pretty familiar with red clay stains!  It's neat that you're familiar with the river. |

I do love this stuff. I guess that's why I majored in history. What history? I absolutely loved my American history classes. However, it was the Anthropology class that taught me about the emergence of man. It was fascinating! Certainly not the lies I was taught about evolution. My Bio prof had touched on evolution. However, it was more regarding the different theories. It was Anthro that showed the progression and bone evidence. Visualizing the progression and changes was thrilling. |

I specialized in U.S. history, but I'm just as interested in and might know more about English history.  And you're right, I just lumped prehistory and history together. I've always been interested in anthropology, too. I only took one basic class in college, but I watch every single anthropology and archaeology documentary I can catch on PBS, Nat Geo, etc. That makes me an expert, right? ha ha |
