Isn't Connecticut that teeny-weeny state some place in the north-east of the US? Most Americans are unawares of your "culture" or location on the map. LOL

We are quite certain that claims of life west of the Hudson are a myth.
You mean to have never heard of "go west, young man?" We have plenty of transplants from all over the US (and many countries). Prolly a few from Connecticut too, although I've never run into one! LOL
How far is it from California to China or the Galapogos Islands compared to Connecticut to our green and pleasent land where ID/SD fighting is banned.
There is a thread on P&D about eating human flesh.
What objection does an SDer put up to doing that?
Connecticut, for those of you uninformed, is the home of the "clam sammich" a seasonal tasty treat consumed usually with sizable portions of beer.
It is also the home to some other more minor accomplishments like, Yale, Univ of Connecticut, The US Nuclear Sub fleet,and thehome of the best and smoothest damn cigar tobacco i the world.
It is also the home of the largest Triassic aged dinosaur footprint known to science.
Hey, if they make "clam sammich," I like it already! Beer is the perfect match, too.
Unless "clam sammich" is roast buttock on bread with salt and pepper one suspects that only easy questions are being addressed.

I'm not sure of your area of expertise, but my latest copy of Natural History notes a find near Puebla, Mexico of footprints in volcanic ash (human and animal, one third of human prints are childrens') dating from 40,000 YA. Full report will apparently be published in forthcoming Quarternary Science Reviews.
That's pretty bloody exciting.
Leave your stepping stones behind,something calls for you.
Leave the dead you left,they won't follow you.
When one eats clam, you must expect to chew into some sand once-in-awhile, but it's worth it! LOL
Stop talking at the back.
This is a serious thread.
Write "I must pay attention at all times on serious threads" 20,000 times.
Read a wonderful account some time back of Princess Anne singing to a smallish group of upper-ups. The audience was rapt. Then, from the rear of the room, a loud booing began and grew slowly louder. Francis Bacon doing music criticism.

Very exciting if the finds hold up to peer review (expect a big squabble). There are other finds of similar age but the old moss backs that are clinging to the post Wisconsin dates for the settlement of the western hemispher don't give up easily.

Even in the late eighties (when I did my archaeology studies) it seemed that crowd was oddly welded to their theory-set. Any competing finding or theory got jumped on pretty quickly. I haven't followed the writing on New World settlement much at all over the previous decade - Monte Verde was the last site that caught my attention and that was quite a while ago now.
I had thought volcanic ash was ammenable to pretty narrow dating. Do I have that wrong?

No, the dates can't be challenged, the foot print are. The complaints run from "they aren't really foot prints" to " an independent expert (one of the old crowd) has not verified them" and yadda yadda yadda and so on and so forth.
The IDers have it.
The SDers are not serious.It's just a pose.A fashion statement.An I'm better than you job.
And blatham is not a bone fide Dylan fan.He picks and chooses like he accuses the Biblers of doing.
40,000 year old footprints!! I ask you.What has that to do with educational standards in an advanced industrial democracy unless it is to change the subject to something we think we understand which we not only don't but haven't the slightest chance of ever doing so.
God even believes in Evolution... He told me..
