No new world hominids,
By R. Bagula "Roger L. Bagula" (Lakeside, Ca United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Mystery Of The Wandering Caveman: The Three Investigators (Paperback)
The was a man's bones found in Del Mar in the 1960's who was initially dated to 26000 years ago. At the time that was thought to be wrong and the C14 data was "fudged" badly by scientists in the years that followed.
The case of pre-Clovis new world scholarship is full of cases like this: Dr. Leaky was even threatened for his work with a tool find near the Calico ghost town in the desert! Here we have the fictional drama of a find that is probably not possible as new world apes are completely and totally different than old world ones. The divergence was many millions of years before chimps entered the African fossil records. There are no finds of Neanderthals in the new world either. So a substitution of an African Hominid for a re-Clovis caveman doesn't hold water scientifically. At the time this was written the established doctrine of Clovis first was being "enforced" by unscientific methods. The idea of directed mutation in a few generations on intelligence in animals is also not likely. The young detective Jupiter Jones should have suspected the uneducated employees of the foundation when the African bones were found missing. This book may be the worst of the Jupiter Jones mysteries that I've read.
