re: The dire wolf has returned to earth after a 10,000 year absence

It wiped Clovis culture off the map as well.

There’s a really interesting 2 part-6hr. presentation on Clovis culture on YT that essentially proves that Clovis culture was widespread throughout the entirety of the America’s and how Clovis points and culture was European in origin and that the first indigenous populations in the America’s were European not Asian.

What could go wrong...

I've found clovis era artifacts in arkansas. They are rare and very sparse but they are indeed spread through the u.s.

Projectile points dating 6500 ybp or less are everywhere. Serious arrowhead hunters don't even get excited finding them because they are so common.

It’s a song, people. By the Grateful Dead, people. Released four years before I was born (performed first over five years before I graced the world) so don’t call me Boomer.

“They will live their entire life on this protected ecological reserve, where they have all sorts of space. These animals were hand reared. They’re not capable of living in the wild, and we want to study them for their lives and understand how these edits might have modified things that we can’t predict. They’re not going to be able to get a splinter without us finding out.”

TIME- The Return of the Dire Wolf

Here is an article that goes a little more in depth. According to this, they do not plan on releasing them into the wild because they don't think they are capable of survival.

They don't plan on it, until they do. I guess nobody remembers covid.

Now just imagine the only thing between you and a dire wolf is that at an end of a stick. But, our ancestors were some hard-piping MFers.

Either a spear or an atlatl. They weren't even using bows and arrows at that point in time.

What's crazy to me is that the projectile points dating 9k years or older are so much more finely made than newer stuff. As civilation became more advanced they spent less time on the stone tools and the quality went down.

Dalton points are so finely made you can tell if the maker was right or left handed

I would be interested to actually see them introduce some type of live prey in their massive enclosure and see how quickly "instincts" kick in. They have yet to been given a live animal for dinner, only parts and pieces of cow, horse and deer since 8 weeks old.

I would think that should have been something they introduced pretty early on.
