That was fantastic, listened twice. I am glad to hear people saying we must have had several times of coming into the new world...and different ways, coast included.
Craig, we're on the same page. I use the early evidence of prehistoric people as a backdrop for my fictional stories. I also live in Colorado with experience on the many rivers of western Colorado and eastern Utah. I appreciate the references of mammoth in the lowlands of the Mississippi, which is a location for another novel in the works. Thank you.

Re: California as a 'land of plenty'. I am sure that there were trade connections between California and the agricultural civilizations to the south and east, but 'California as a land of plenty' provides a partial explanation for why there was no (little?) agriculture in California. The other part of the story would be that agriculture/agricultural technology did not yet provide enough of a benefit for the effort expended for the Californians to see adopting it as advantageous. Some evidence that would support this 'set of assumptions' would be if there was evidence of the pre-Columbian Californians doing things to improve their hunting/gathering resources and/or actively cultivating something for ceremonial/medicinal/occasional-but-significant-use purposes (was there tobacco cultivation in California?). If Columbus and others hadn't shown up eventually someone would have started irrigation agriculture in the Central Valley and things would have started snowballing from there.
Wow! Childs is a _master weaver of words_ - a rare & mighty gift to be blessed with.
That was a nice trip thanks for the ride sir.

Almost poetry...
