Document Summary
Clovis man the first american? or first to make a weapon thats survived for archaeolo- gists. People came from asia (where man already lived for 500,000 years) No idea where clovis man developed, cultural features in siberia that are similar, but also other parts of europe, so cannot be sure in fact siberia. If advanced from within na then developed in existing com- munity. Develops so fast, over short period of time, over vast area. Canada to southern tip in less than 1000 years. Clovis man from siberia encounters mass food availability. A) man here before clovis or b) clovis man first man hear. Look for early man to prove either hypothesis. Search for similar artifact in original sedimentary position, elsewhere along bank. Scientists just been looking for the wrong thing. Juno the bear - use her eating and effects on bones to identify in man made bone changes or could be from animals.
