Podcasts about solutrean hypothesis

In this episode, I present a battle royale between two terrible ideas. In the first corner, the Silurian Hypothesis, which states that socially complex human beings have been on Earth for millions of years. In the second corner, the Solutrean Hypothesis, which states that early Native American technology was influenced by Europeans who came to the New World by crossing the Atlantic thousands of years ago. Who will win the Crown of Ultimate Silliness? You decide.TranscriptsFor rough transcripts of this episode go to https://www.archpodnet.com/pseudo/112Contact Kinkella Teaches Archaeology (Youtube) Blog: Kinkella Teaches ArchaeologyArchPodNet APN Website: https://www.archpodnet.com APN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnet APN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnet APN on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/archpodnet Tee Public StoreAffiliates Wildnote TeePublic Timeular Motio

On today's episode we are reviewing Alpha (2018), the story of a lost Solutrean boy who befriends and domesticates a wolf, with TWO special guests! Dr. April Nowell studies the origins of art and language and the archaeology of childhood. Dr. Grant Zazula is the palaeontologist for the Government of Yukon, and he was the palaeontology consultant on Alpha! He takes us behind the scenes as we dissect the real-life inspirations behind the language, artifacts, landscapes, and of course ice-age mammals in this beautiful movie.

In today's episode we continue our series on the early peopling of the Americas, examining who they were, where they came from, how they arrived, and how they adapted to ever changing climates. Joining us for this episode is Dr. Bruce Bradley, an Emeritus Professor at the University of Exeter. Dr. Bradley received his BA from the University of Arizona in anthropology with a minor in geology (and a strong passion for archaeology). He later received his PhD in archaeology from the University of Cambridge in experimental archaeology in 1977. His early research was focused on the North American Southwest and Great Plains where he applied an anthropological approach to much of his work. During some 30 years of field work he has been involved in research and excavations in America, England, France, Ireland, Spain, Lebanon, Kazakhstan, Russia and Brazil. His areas of expertise include the early peopling of the Americas, the Clovis Culture, flintknapping techniques, horse domestication in Central Asia, and prehistoric Pueblo archaeology of the American Southwest. Dr Bradley is the author of several books and a multitude of scientific peer-reviewed journal articles. He is active in bringing his archaeological and anthropological interests to the public through presentations, teaching, interaction with Native American communities and his participation in documentaries.

A couple of podcasts back, we interviewed Professor Bruce Bradley - he of the Solutrean Hypothesis in Paleolithic America. Truth be told, the impetus to contact Bruce Bradley came about because we'd noticed that an outfit called 'Seven Ages Research Associates' in the States had just published an interview with him. It was a bit "if they can - why don't we?" - so we did. Well, one thing led to another and one day we got an invitation from Jason Pentrail, one of the three associates, to hook up and produce some back-to-back interviews with each other. They'd interview us for their podcast and we'd interview them for ours. Here's our side of the deal! Although their remit is very much broader than ours (histrory, archaeology, science and culture) it turns out we are very much on the same page as far as communicating what may be going on behind the scenes in academia within our spheres of interest. If this chat is anything to go by, there is much for us to exchange and we feel that we've barely scratched the surface as far as us talking to each other is concerned. Watch this space. In this brief chat, we talk about their various areas of interest, Bruce Bradley, bridging the gap between amateur and professional archaeologists and their favourite archaeological sites in the USA and more. Enjoy.

We have to confess we are not as knowledgable about American prehistory as we would like to be. But how could we have done better to begin educating ourselves than to talk to celebrated American archaeologist, Professor Bruce Bradley? Until recently Emeritus Professor of Prehistory and Director of the Experimental Archaeology Masters Programme at the University of Exeter, Bruce has a remarkable c.v., having involved himself with stone-age technologies and experimental archaeology, the archaeology of the North American Southwest and Great Plains, the Upper Palaeolithic of Russia and France and is currently focused on the early peopling of the Americas. He is one of the foremost flint knapping experts in the world and the insights into prehistoric lithic working practises perfectly placed him to formulate the 'Solutrean Hypothesis', his controversial theory that some parts of the North Eastern coast of America could have been populated by migrating people from the region of the Pyrenees and Northern Spain during the last glacial maximum. We talk to him about his career, his current work and outline the story of Clovis and Pre-Clovis culture in the Americas as it is currently understood. We then turn to the idea for which he is best known, the 'Solutrean Hypothesis'.

Today we start a new segment with Dr. Jennifer Raff. We explore the use of ancient DNA in archaeology and how our understanding of such has changed over the years. We also look at the most recent misuse of the Olmec culture as evidence of a pre-columbic African presence in the Americas, and what DNA tells us about that.

On today's episode we talk with Jennifer Raff about the recent CBC episode of The Nature of Things: Ice Bridge. We talk about how the Solutrean Hypothesis, how it's it's not supported by evidence and is supported but White Supremacists. We talk about the issues not brought up in the CBC show, and why we as archaeologists should be talking about it.
