Thread: New Book - Across Atlantic Ice: The Origin of America's Clovis Culture

I look foward to reading this book, and only wish that it had been around back in 1999 when I published my Master's Thesis, "PaleoAmerican Ethnic Diversity": http://whiterevolution.com/primers/p...-diversity.pdf

Of course, I did include some of Stanford's early research in PED, and communicated with him in 1998-99 via e-mail on the subject, before he got his big National Geographic breakthrough. Had he already published, my Thesis would have been superfluous, and I would have had to bail out of grad school by writing about, oh, I don't know...Balkanization or something tedious such as that.

I received my copy of Across Atlantic Ice today! I've gotten through the introduction and part of the first chapter and so far it is a great read for anyone who enjoys science or wants to explore who the real Native Americans are. I've already used this book to begin discussions with a handful of unawakened White friends and family about the origin of Americans.

Across Atlantic Ice by Dennis J. Stanford and Bruce A. Bradley is the subject of Jamie Kelso’s February 15, 2012 program. Stanford and Bradley have revolutionized archaeology with their finding that it was White Europeans who first set foot on the continents of North and South America, 19,000 years ago.

Radical theory of first Americans places Stone Age Europeans in Delmarva 20,000 years ago

Bonnie Jo Mount/Post - Smithsonian Institute anthropologist Dennis Stanford, left, and University of Exeter archeologist Bruce Bradley examine knives from the last Ice Age.

When the crew of the Virginia scallop trawler Cinmar hauled a mastodon tusk onto the deck in 1970, another oddity dropped out of the net: a dark, tapered stone blade, nearly eight inches long and still sharp.

Forty years later, this rediscovered prehistoric slasher has reopened debate on a radical theory about who the first Americans were and when they got here.

Archaeologists have long held that North America remained unpopulated until about 15,000 years ago, when Siberian people walked or boated into Alaska and then moved down the West Coast.

But the mastodon relic found near the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay turned out to be 22,000 years old, suggesting that the blade was just as ancient.

Whoever fashioned that blade was not supposed to be here.

Its makers probably paddled from Europe and arrived in America thousands of years ahead of the western migration, making them the first Americans, argues Smithsonian Institution anthropologist Dennis Stanford.

“I think it’s feasible,” said Tom Dillehay, a prominent archaeologist at Vanderbilt University. “The evidence is building up, and it certainly warrants discussion.”
At the height of the last ice age, Stanford says, mysterious Stone Age European people known as the Solutreans paddled along an ice cap jutting into the North Atlantic. They lived like Inuits, harvesting seals and seabirds.

The Solutreans eventually spread across North America, Stanford says, hauling their distinctive blades with them and giving birth to the later Clovis culture, which emerged some 13,000 years ago.

When Stanford proposed this “Solutrean hypothesis” in 1999, colleagues roundly rejected it. One prominent archaeologist suggested that Stanford was throwing his career away.

But now, 13 years later, Stanford and Bruce Bradley, an archaeologist at England’s University of Exeter, lay out a detailed case — bolstered by the curious blade and other stone tools recently found in the mid-Atlantic — in a new book, “Across Atlantic Ice.”

“I drank the Solutrean Kool-Aid,” said Steve Black, an archaeologist at Texas State University in San Marcos. “I had been very dubious. It’s something a lot of [archaeologists] have dismissed out of hand. But I came away from the book feeling like it’s an extremely credible idea that needs to be taken seriously.”

Other experts remain unconvinced. “Anyone advancing a radically different hypothesis must be willing to take his licks from skeptics,” said Gary Haynes, an archaeologist at the University of Nevada-Reno.

At the core of Stanford’s case are stone tools recovered from five mid-Atlantic sites. Two sites lie on Chesapeake Bay islands, suggesting that the Solutreans settled Delmarva early on. Smithsonian research associate Darrin Lowery found blades, anvils and other tools found stuck in soil at least 20,000 years old.

Displaying the tools in his office at the National Museum of Natural History, Stanford handles a milky chert blade and says, “This stuff is beginning to give us a real nice picture of occupation of the Eastern Shore around 20,000 years ago.”

“Anyone advancing a radically different hypothesis must be willing to take his licks from skeptics,”

In other words they have to brave the PC crowd and the current party line that the poor little red man was the victim.
How many scientists will actually have the balls to admit that the white man was here an this continent first and was exterminated?
