"Points similar to Clovis were developed about 18,000 years ago by a group known as the Solutreans, who inhabited the Iberian Peninsula—an area that includes Spain, Portugal and southwestern France. In fact, points that pre-date Clovis spearheads found at the Cactus Hill [southern Virginia] site are nearly identical Solutrean points, according to Stanford.
In a hypothesis dubbed the “Solutrean solution,” Stanford and several colleagues suggest that Solutreans used their spears to hunt harp seals and great auks found near their coastal Iberian Peninsula homes. Over time, the anthropologists said, some of the hunters—by design or accident—may have crossed from Europe to North America along an ice bridge that connected the continents during the ice age."
I'm going to collect back rent for my ancestors for the past 18,000 years! D:<
