Yeah. No, I don't think they're going to get boring. I think it's going to be fun, and we're going to still be interested. Just like all of us are still interested in this. I mean, none of us is really trained in the fields of paleobiology or anything like that, but we find it fascinating to want to understand things. how this happened. And we want to know more about ourselves.
And that's what a lot of this is about.

It's true. Yeah, it's true.

Well, that part probably will remain completely alien. I mean, we have named these paleo cultures in North America, things like Folsom and Plainview and Clovis, and those are all names of towns near which paleontological and archaeological sites were found. I mean, we have no idea what they called themselves.

They for sure probably didn't call themselves Clovisians or Folsomites or whatever the Folsom term for the people would be. So we don't know that, and we're very likely not ever to know that. What I am still a little disappointed by, and I'm hoping that this site in South America pans out as an actual rock imagery site for Clovis and Folsom,

is the lack of art, especially in comparison to Western Europe, where there are all these marvelous cave paintings that, I mean, tell you so much about. I mean, one of the pieces I read when I was researching Wild New World was about how the artists at Chauvet Cave got the rhythm of the footprints footprints, the feet hitting the ground of quadrupeds exactly right.

And this particular article said it wasn't until the 1890s that modern painters were able to get the rhythm of how horse who have hit the ground when they were running at the same level of expertise that these guys did 15, 16,000 years ago. And so that's very exciting and tells us a little bit about those people.
