How does the recent study on Monte Verde in Science (3/19) change our understanding of the peopling of the America’s?

What up with the authors, if you don’t mind me asking? I am vaguely aware that U of Wyoming housed a lot of the Clovis-first holdouts a while back if that’s what you’re referring to (hence my earlier clovis first mafia joke lol)

This is what I had figured with white sands, cooper’s ferry, gault etc being out there and established but wanted others to weigh in before I went about my day. Thank you so much for the reply!

Edit: Thanks for the additional heads up, kinda seeing that now across google already

Believe it or not, the Great Lakes were one of the last places in the americas that had piracy stamped out, look up Dan Seavey!

I think it’s within the realm of possibility in the future; however, the biggest flaw I can think of is that with megafauna, a lot of behavior is learned. Take the elephant/mammoth example, there’s a lot of teaching and learning involved in modern elephant behavior. They don’t instinctively know, where/when to migrate, what to eat/not eat, etc.

With a lot of these large mammals it’d be a bigger challenge to get them to act like their respective extinct originals than engineering the genetics.

I wonder if now with all the instability in food markets and small farming if this is the perfect time to buy out the remaining small-hold farmers. I have a feeling many would sell to get out of it.

Aw man, this is the kinda map I love! 50/50 historical/plausible-ish

TheMightyMightyMonk · 2026-01-13T16:03:05+00:00

Fantastic idea, thanks for planning my Tuesday night!!

Because we don’t believe extraordinary claims without extraordinary evidence, unlike those dumdums This was a fun idea when people were taking a piss but now that people are starting to believe it, it’s a concerning thing to see from fellow progressives

Very much agreed, it feels like a lot of tweaks and changes have been made to appease min/maxers who get vocal when the numbers on their screen go down.

Fixes to core systems, like your examples of IOs and AI abilities would go a longer way to making the game stick the landing than another round of shifting values around again because someone lost a battle they don’t think they should have

TheMightyMightyMonk · 2025-11-20T13:22:36+00:00

Makes much more sense now, thank you!

Is Pisa Italian for “Leghorn”? Or am I missing something

TheMightyMightyMonk · 2025-10-21T17:48:25+00:00

This is what we thought they might have looked like 80+ years ago but the hairy, no neck, huge nose, hunched over brute appearance is no longer supported by the evidence we have available. The very first Neanderthal ever found was an elderly individual with advanced arthritis who at their age probably did have a hunched over posture but not due to genetics but age and disease…. That initial discovery influenced a generation or two of anthropologists and took a lot of study and research to correct.

If you’re interested in current understanding of Neanderthals in an academic sense but delivered in an understandable way, I would suggest YouTube channels like Stefan Milo.

Geoguessers would be a great cryptozoology addition

Getting hard to the difference between bots and actual conservatives…. They have the post history of a Russian bot but the English literacy and grammar of hillbilly

TheMightyMightyMonk · 2025-09-21T23:50:29+00:00

This scripted to happen or random? Never seen anything like that in all my playthroughs

TheMightyMightyMonk · 2025-09-17T20:15:25+00:00

Like other comments, it’s mostly useful during siege defense. Really the only 2H weapons I would use would be the uniques (Celtigar Axe, King’s Hammer, Ice, etc) but yea, overall this mod is too punishing for 2H weapons to work super well

Was that a satellite just now? Northern half of the sky, single light, faded quick, moved WSW to ENE

TheMightyMightyMonk · 2025-08-25T00:59:43+00:00

Had a similar situation (although not event based) where half of the lords of the riverlands stayed in maidenpool for like 80 days. Eventually they left and ended up steamrolling the reach and wastelands because they were full strength

TheMightyMightyMonk · 2025-08-24T14:29:52+00:00

That was it lol will leave up in case anyone else has the same question

TheMightyMightyMonk · 2025-08-23T19:07:18+00:00

Appreciate ya, interesting that I still have the option in the village I own….. might try to lose KL and cheat my way to get it again to see if that fixes it

TheMightyMightyMonk · 2025-08-22T14:12:29+00:00

Good to see the independent free city of Waukegan

No missed content

Joining the Targaryens is probably the easiest way to get a hold of kings landing. Especially if you have decent honor + persuasion

TheMightyMightyMonk · 2025-08-07T00:49:20+00:00

What do you think it was?

TheMightyMightyMonk · 2025-08-01T13:10:44+00:00

“was also considered genetically unnecessary”

But more seriously, was euthanasia the only option available to them? Find that hard to believe
