Fish fingers, coleslaw for heaven's sake.

It's actually not kelp moving, it's people moving, thanks to kelp.

And it's a hypothesis.

Okay, it's the theory.

We all know the boring old theory about how people got into the New World over the Arctic or land bridges or whatever.

Maybe the Berry Bridge, whatever.

Actually, what this theory posits is that there are these massive kelp forests stretching all the way from Alaska down to Southern California.

I mean, down the coast of Canada and the USA, basically, and across from Japan.

The theory is early humans settled the Americas basically by following the kelp.

And that's how they had the nutrients to get along that route.

Is what I imagined.

They're eating the kelp.

And Northern California used to have these huge pyramids of mollusk shells from where the early settlers had eaten them, feasted.

And they were all flattened, sadly.

But they used to be there, these massive great pyramids of what they'd left behind.

He's like, I'm busy, I'm busy, I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it.

That's a wonderful accidental discovery story.

Yep.

It's not right, they're out of history.

I was looking into futuristic seaweed.
