I guess i do not know the term that ought to be applied to the inhabitants of Mexico before the Spanish showed up - but these dudes were industrious, clever and apparently well fed!

The article calls them "humans" which is perfect and doesn't need to be PC, does it?
Thank you for the link!

Human has 'man' in it. The PC left wing-nuts would prefer 'people'. I do not kid you about this!

Paleo Humans indigenous to central America might do the trick
(not sure why anyone wants to turn this into a political discussion - but to each his own I guess, i just thought this was really cool science!

Proper term is paleo-indians, paleo-mexicans, paleo-mesoamericans

Their life style was a form of socialism, a good thing.

Maybe call them paleo-socialists.

i know if they were alive today and immigrated to usa, they would vote blue.

:bounce:

I don't care what you call the folks long dead. I think the article and what they did is pretty cool. Thanks for the share caj13.

As for the buttheads that go PC, please go to Baja, get a enema, you need to relax.
