The first people in North America
« on: March 27, 2010, 12:06:31 pm »
In following Curtis Smith's thread on PaleoPlanet about Clovis and Pre-Clovis info on Scientific America with Alan Alda, I found this 9 part re-enactment YouTube series.  I thought it to be pretty well done.  The last video seems to end suddenly but if pre-clovis interests you, you will enjoy this documentary.  This was also posted on PP.  Please post comments.

This is another good documentary is on the subject.

     Cool video.  Too bad they didn't give the actors a rudimentary lesson in flint knapping.  When they were poking the piece of flint with a deer antler, I thought, someone didn't do their home work......but overall pretty neat film.  Thanks for bringing that on here.
