brigdh1. How do you not know the name of your own species?! We said again and again and again that only modern humans ever lived in the Americas, so if I have to read one more essay about the migration of Homo erectus into Canada, I will hunt these people down and kill them in their sleep. Yes.
2. Mexico is not in South America. No, really. I don't care how many people write this down, it is still not true.
3. Similarly, New Zealand is not and has never been part of Australia.
4. Jesus Christ, people, mammoths have nothing to do with the beginnings of farming. Where did you even get this theory from?
5. No, Australia was not first inhabited "just before WWII".
6. WTF.
ETA: 7. The end of the Ice Age != end of the world.
