The discovery of these weapons, and the fact that it pushes back how long people have inhabited North America, raises a few questions for me.
1. Did these people have any sense of having a right to bear arms?
2. Who was the first person there to suggest that "no one needs a clovis point to hunt"?
3. What did they do to that idiot?
4. Would that occasion have been the
first time people in Texas said "Come and take it?"
5. Would that (the existence of a clovis point control advocate) prove, at least as far as the human race goes, that evolution is false?
https://www.foxnews.com/science/oldest-weapons-discovered-in-north-america-uncovered-in-texasOldest weapons ever discovered in North America uncovered in TexasAncient tools that may give historians a glimpse into America's history were recently discovered just feet below the surface in Texas. Researchers with Texas A&M University made the stunning discovery during a dig at the Debra L. Friedkin site, located just 40 miles northwest of Austin.
Michael Waters, professor of anthropology and director of the Center for the Study of the First Americans at Texas A&M, and staff from Baylor University and the University of Texas described the various ancient items they found in a study published in the latest issue of Science Advances. The team reveals they found
3 to 4-inch weapons, including spear points made of chert, under sediment they believe to be at least 15,500 years old.
“The discovery is significant because almost all pre-Clovis sites have stone tools, but spear points have yet to be found. These points were found under a layer with Clovis and Folsom projectile points," Waters said in a statement Wednesday, noting the term Clovis describes tools used by people 13,000 years ago. "The dream has always been to find diagnostic artifacts — such as projectile points — that can be recognized as older than Clovis and this is what we have at the Friedkin site.”
The Clovis people invented the "Clovis point," a spear-like weapon which has been discovered in portions of the U.S. and Mexico. For decades, the Clovis population was considered the first people to enter the North American continent, according to Science Daily.
