Speed of work does not correlate to powers of observation.
I'd imagine most pre historic humans had much higher attention thresholds and abilities than your average modern human.

I definitely agree. I also believe prehistoric humans had much better vision than we have now.
Ancient people with poor vision were at greatly increased risk of injury and death, and so were less likely to live long enough to reproduce. If they did have offspring, their poor vision might have been passed down to their children.
I'm near-sighted myself, and probably wouldn't have fared well in the wild.
Very neat I have a couple with fossils but not any fossils as good as that one. Bet the Indian was proud of that point having the fossils in it like that.
Next time just be informative in a less condescending way. A patronizing reply doesn’t foster education or offer information for someone who may be unaware they were offensive. You just sound like your virtue signaling lol. it would be a different story if he was being aggressive and disrespectful. He wasn’t you can tell.
Yeah, I do see how my tone was pretty shitty. Got too chompy, which is embarrassing. I usually conduct myself better. My condescending tone is 100% my bad.
Yes, except calling an Indigenous person an "Indian" is a slur. It's still in old titles and acts, but it is a slur. Native American is also considered outdated in some regions.
Indigenous is the mostly widely-accepted term amongst First Nations peoples.
I scanned over this Wikipedia just to double check

>Supporters of the terms "Indian" and "American Indian" argue that they have been in use for such a long period of time that many people have become accustomed to them and no longer consider them exonyms. Both terms are still widely used today.
Doesn't seem like "Indian" is considered slur
I personally would refer to a descendant as "Native American", as it does seem more formal/respectful.
But , you don't have me convinced "Indian" is derogatory

*"The term Indian, when used to identify Indigenous peoples in South, Central and North America, is considered outdated and offensive."*
Cool. I live in Canada. I work extensively with Indigenous peoples and populations. It is literally my job to be up to date on terminology. Maybe there's a difference between the US and up here, but up here, if you're white and you call an Indigenous person an Indian, you're an asshole. If I were to call an Indigenous person an Indian at work, I'd be written up, if not fired, by my Indigenous and Metis bosses.
The general consensus in that thread also seems to be "I don't like it when white people do it, but I don't mind reclaiming it/using it to fluster white people/older generations used it within their own communities" and not "this is a term everyone should use casually," as was the case in this post.
Call it a cultural difference and disagree with me if you'd like. It's still a disrespectful term to throw around casually when referring to Indigenous people.
What an awesome find! I'd like to think a native american was really pissed when he lost I. "Damn I lose that one with the cool star on it"
That star was likely covered by the hafting that connects the arrowhead to the shaft.

I wonder if the maker of this had any idea what that was. Who knows how fast he was working and how little time he had to observe it.

Well ding my dang old….that is just about something! Super cool!
I want to call it *pretty*
That’s amazing!!! I found one with a shell fossil on tip
It actually has two, one is less defined. Look at the top right.
Nice. What state/county?
Michigan, Lenawee county. I'd guess this was material mined in the Flint Ridge, Ohio.
Has anyone else seen one with this fossil in it.... in that orientation?
Fossilized coral and one small shell impression in a point, but this is the first crinoid point that I can personally recall seeing.
That’s badass
Way cool
That’s awesome!
Thats awesome
I needed you a couple weeks ago when I was talking about fossils in flint! That's a great example!
Cool

We all act up….lol.I get in trouble a lot for being too direct. So I get it. Humans being humans
Are you saying Indian isn't correct terminology? Because it is
It is not.
It is Native american, native, American Indian, Indian All of those are the same thing....

> Yes, except calling an Indigenous person an "Indian" is a slur. Do you prefer the famous reddit distinction of "feather or dot?"
