Default Calculating your carbon footprint - a load of ********

The message
from Terry Fields contains these words:

There was an ice-age in place about 20,000 years ago, whereby the
Salutrians paddled in their kayaks from the south of France to mid
north America, along the edge of the ice-cap. The science that backs
this up is indisputable and it is not a supposition.

You know someone who was there and can vouch for this tall tale?


Don't need to.


Mitochondrial DNA that could only have some from the Salutrians is
found in an obscure tribe of North American indians.


For someone who claims a scientific approach you are remarkably careless
with your 'facts'.

There is indeed a strong link between Solutrean artifacts and very
similar items in America and there is some mitochondrial DNA linkage
between several native American tribes and some modern European groups
but as with any hypothesis for which there is absolutely no evidence
there is some dispute about whether the the Solutreans ever made it from
Europe to America at all let alone whether they did it by land or sea.
Nor that they used kayaks.


In that case, the BBC TV programme that showed the DNA traces was a
load of rubbish.

Thanks for your input.
