Cunningham http://johnfrederickwalker.com/2009/11/23/did-humans-kill-off-the-mammoth/#comment-131 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 04:19:51 +0000 http://johnfrederickwalker.com/?p=279#comment-131 December 31, 2011 This is a very late response since I just stumbled across this blog, but I’ll comment anyway in case anyone is still monitoring it. How often did mammoths reproduce? What if the humans entering North America specialized in killing the very young of the mega-fauna, using their wolves/dogs to bring the young to bay and harass the mothers trying to protect their babies while men slipped in and drove their spears into the much easier killed new born calves? Any mother charging the men would have been swarmed upon by the canid packs, and even if they only amounted to ankle-biters they could have distracted a mother and caused her to turn away from her pursuit of the real killers (Corgis herd 2000 lb cattle).
How long would it have taken mammoths to go extinct if their reproduction was brought below maintenance levels in this manner?

]]> Comment on Oldest Prehistoric Ivory Venus Figure by Petr jandacek http://johnfrederickwalker.com/2009/05/15/oldest-prehistoric-ivory-venus-figure/#comment-35 Fri, 15 May 2009 20:17:52 +0000 http://johnfrederickwalker.com/?p=251#comment-35 The Gravettien/Pavlovian/Kostienkian Paleolithic sculptors evidently spoke similar languages from the Pyrenees to the Urals. The art works in the east and west often look like they were fabricated by the same hand. NOTA BENE: The lexemes which the Basques and Czechs (and other Slavs) have for the ENLARGED anatomical features of the Primitive Venuses are nearly identical. Bosom is PAPAR in Basque and PAPAT is to Suckle in Czech. Belly is ZILBOT in Basque and ZhIVOT in Slavic languages. Buttocks is IPURDI in Basque and PRDEL in Czech.
Other (not augmented) anatomical features of the Primitive Venuses with similar names in Basque and Czech/Slavic you will find if you Google petr jandacek/Barranca School/Otzi the Iceman. OR write to Petr Jandacek 127 La Senda Rd. LOS ALAMOS NM 87544

It is a fictitious story with very similar facts to the Billy debacle. Google it. Well worth the read if you are interested in this story.
