9. Panel Label:
American Pre-History 101
The Clovis Point People
Prof Z:
One of the great mysteries of American Pre-History is, what happened to the Clovis Point People.
10. Prof Z:
These Paleolithic people were literally poised to make America a permanent home, when they and all of the things that they depended on to survive just vanish, in what seems like a blink of an eye.
Page 5.
11. Carl:
WOW!
You mean that, if they hadn't died out, Columbus would have been meeting these guys, instead of the Indians?
12. Prof Z:
The correct term is INDIGENS.
The word is derived from INDIGENIUS, Latin for NATIVE!#*!!
13. Gomez:
Whatever, but if they could take on woolly mammoths, they might not have been as easy for the Conquistadors to push around.
14. Prof Z:
It could have been much more different than that. They might have been the ones to discover Europe, instead.
Page 6.
15. Dannon:
So, any idea what did them in?
16. Prof Z:
There are a couple of theories.
17. Thought Box, Mammoth:
What do I look like?
A pin cushion?
Prof Z:
One theory is that the Mega-Mammals were hunted to extinction but to have this happen everywhere, at the same time, seems unlikely.
Page 7.
18. Prof Z:
A second theory is that the Ice Age just got to cold and everything died off as a result.
19. Prof Z:
Other possible theories are that disease caused the extinctions
20. Prof Z:
or an asteroid crashed to the ground.
21. Prof Z:
No evidence of the last two have been found yet.
22. Gomez:
Gee! It's too bad we can't build a time machine to back in time and find out.*
* Gomez is a Native American, so he is kind of cynical about us of European descent.
