    I'm ignoring your inability to grasp Aquatic Ape. There's no point in trying. Not with you. So,
    what are the dates for your subarctic humans?

    Evidence of humans in North America during the Last Glacial Maximum

    "Ichnofossils of extinct late Pleistocene fauna occur widely on the margins
    of the playa and include tracks of Proboscidea (mammoth), Folivora (ground sloth), Carnivora (canid and felid), and Cetartiodactyla (bovid and camelid), most of which are associated with human footprints (16–18)."

    "Footprints (human, proboscidean, and canid) occur at all levels..."

    "Many tracks appear to be those of teenagers and children; large adult footprints are less frequent. One hypothesis for this is the division of
    labor, in which adults are involved in skilled tasks whereas “fetching and carrying” are delegated to teenagers. Children accompany the teenagers,
    and collectively they leave a higher number of footprints that are preferentially recorded in the fossil record. This pattern is common to all excavated surfaces."

    "Our data and modeling results show that the ages of TH2 through TH6
    span from ~23 to 21 ka (Fig. 3 and fig. S16), placing humans in
    southwestern North America for approximately two millennia during the
    LGM. The presence of proboscidean tracks in TH8 places an additional
    constraint on the upper age of the sequence, showing that it does not
    extend beyond the late Pleistocene."

    "The evidence presented here confirms that humans were present in North
    America before the glacial advances of the LGM closed the Ice-Free Corridor
    and the Pacific Coastal Route and prevented human migration from Asia. The overlap of humans and megafauna for at least two millennia during this time suggests that if people were hunting megafauna the practices were
    sustainable,
    at least initially. "

    'Teens fetching & carrying' is I think a Hs habit, He didn't have the extremely extended childhood/teen late puberty imo, didn't have Hs secondary growth spurt. Claims that Turkana Boy would have continued to grow taller if he'd lived are premature,
    more likely he was nearly at max height. Pygmies have no pubertal growth spurt, I think that was the archaic norm, with a longer primary growth spurt than typical Hs. The transition from He to Hs may have aligned with the transition from portable
    domeshields w/o domestic fire to dome huts with hearths, allowing extended childhoods of many non-reproductive smartening small-framed bodies sheltered Hs vs He's one-child-per-adult-per-domeshield where the father and mother slept under adjacent roofs.

    White Sands Nat Park is at 32 degrees latitude -- the same
    as San Diego, or the Mexican border south of Los Angeles.
    It was 1,000 miles from any ice during the LGM (Last
    Glacial Maximum). Being 'cold-adapted' was hardly
    necessary.

    Similarly the site in Bulgaria is less than 200 km from
    the modern Black Sea. It was probably only occupied
    by Hs during summer hunting expeditions. They say
    the climate was like that of Russia or Scandinavia.
    Both are warm (if often too hot) in the summer.

    Very misleading title for this thread.

    My point was to criticise the 'archaeology' of
    the original article, which was based on the
    latitude of White Sands and of the site 200 km
    west of the Black Sea. Neither required 'cold-
    adaptations'/

    Maybe you could argue that the ancestors of
    Native Americans were cold-adapted, as a
    consequence of having to get there by walking
    through arctic and subarctic conditions (over
    many generations). But that's a different
    argument. In any case, I'd say that those first
    migrants used boats, and were at sea-level in all
    their settlements, and were not particularly '
    cold-adapted'.

    Elevation some millions of years was sea level, but today 4,300', quite a climb from today's sea level.. The white sand is actually gypsum, which does not absorb sunshine, walking the dunes is cool even during midday. You think they had watercraft that
    could handle Pacific storms?

    You think they had watercraft that could handle Pacific storms?

    They'd have hugged the coast, probably taking
    many generations to move the 5,000 km south,
    going to land any time storms seemed likely.

    The major problem would be getting past the
    ice-fields of the Bering Straits. Done first by
    exploratory missions of fit young men in the
    summer, before families moved across with
    tents etc.
