Wipe-out: New paper details continental human population decline during Younger Dryas in North America

I don’t have the full paper yet but here is the abstract. Somewhere on the Tusk or Scribd I have the conference poster which was a precursor to this paper. [Found it!] Note that David Anderson is the keeper of the Paleo-Indian Database When does this stuff move from kooky — to compelling?? Multiple Lines of Evidence for a Possible Human Population Decline during the Early Younger…

They’re back! This just in from Pinter and the gang. It’s a rehash of Pinter’s Powerpoint at the AMQUA conference last fall. I have some pretty good notes regarding his points at that time and will write a little blog when I get the entire paper and read it (something I am not sure they do).
