Hmmm the archaeology class I took failed to mention any such theory. Granted, we covered Clovis points mainly on the way to the Anasazi, but the class was multidisciplinary and taught by a professot that liked these sorts of theories, so you'd think he'd mention it if it were accepted. He certainly made much of the seashells and parrot feathers that were found at Chaco canyon....
On the other hand, I was taught (in an astronomy class) that life probably began as a result of a lighning strike so the guy with the salt water may be on to something. Dana I saw the same show about the theory of Stone Age people migrating from Western Europe to Eastern America. It is fairly new, and by no way widely accepted, but it has some interesting facts, such as habitation sites in the east that may be the oldest sites yet found in America. The thing I took away from the show was that it would not have been as hard for the migration as one may initially assume, because during the ice age, most of the Northern Atlantic was frozen over. This would have allowed Eskimo like peoples with simple boats to sail along the edge of the ice shelf, fishing, hunting and camping along the way. I do not believe this theory is to supplant that people came across the Bering straight, but more that, that may not have been the only migration path. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA "C code.
