  • Savages never reached this point in Technology, only White Men did.

  • @CelticSouthland so what metal tools mean nothing..does not mean they were dumb..weather u believe in evolution or creation..all men are created equal!!

  • @CelticSouthland With that mentality it's you that is the savage. They didn't spend every waking minute trying to figure out how to kill each other so there was no need for better technology.

  • Lol "this is a delicate procedure" WHACK!

  • Ok..... Someone tell me the difference between an arrowhead and Clovis Point.... Is it the Flute the only difference?.... and which came first... thanks

  • @shadowgirl0907: Clovis is a type of paleoindian culture that was very widespread in North America to about 13000 years ago. The points, we believe, were used in the foreshafts of atlatl darts. Arrowheads are a much later development, as from Mississippian culture around Cahokia, IL. There's much more to it than that, but I hope I've got you going the right way.

  • Why I do believe you have me headed the right way..... I do have another question for you though.... I'm very aware of the the Cahokia culture (people of the sun and corn..lol) and people of the neolithic era... my question pertains to the "arrow heads"... did the Cahokia people use clovis point's first.. then later make arrow heads?..... or did the Cahokia make their very own tool..("arrow heads") prior to making their mounds?............. I'm actually rather fascinated by history. Thanks

  • @shadow: it's generally believed that the Clovis culture went exinct about 13 kya, being either absorbed or replaced by the paleoindians who would become known as the Folsom people. The fluting is very much a diagnostic of their artifacts. The Mississippian culture is much later, though still pre-Columbian. I'm not sure when the bow and arrow were developed here, so you would have to ask an expert. Sorry.

  • @Shadow: you might want to chec out Lithic Casting Lab. They do a lot of reproduction casting for schools and private collectors. I've got Colvis points, Folsom, Delbert, Mesa Site, and Sheridan Cave as well as bone spear points and 2 myo Oldowan Flake tools. Lots of things to read on that site. Best to you !

  • At School I Have A Project... i have to make a stone age tool or a stone age weapon

  • I had a similar project.

    I ended up clubbing the teacher on the head before dragging her by the hair back to my cavern.

  • @MMMisterDNA Mr. Kamikaze?

  • @skok65

  • Very interesting video.

  • Using modern tools is cheating ;-)

  • Some tribes had access to copper.

  • @craisin7 they said it's modern, but it's just a piece of wood with a antler tip

  • cool

  • cant view them outside of usa... kinda gay

  • Hey PBS, it's AWESOME to see you on YouTube.  Keep the great vids coming, please!
