[edit] Solutrean hypothesis

I'm glad someone finally created an article about Luzia. However, the Solutrean hypothesis does not address African migrations to South America. Twalls (talk) 05:58, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Firecircle (talk) 20:18, 29 December 2007 (UTC) Hey thanks Twalls! I appreciate the observation (don't know what I was thinking). I would like to keep a reference in on the Solutrean Hypothesis, just to give it some coverage, so I reworded the paragraph. I hope this does the trick. Firecircle (talk) 20:18, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

At first glance, it looks fine to me. Thanks! I've gone to a few other articles mentioning Luzia and added the Wikilink to this article. Twalls (talk) 20:45, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Firecircle (talk) 19:35, 8 January 2008 (UTC) Thanks a million for adding the other links to the article, Twalls. You did good. Firecircle (talk) 19:35, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Don't mention it. There are surely still more to do. We should probably add a redirect/disambiguation page as well. Twalls (talk) 04:57, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Firecircle (talk) 19:15, 9 January 2008 (UTC) I'm fairly new to this: my redirects don't work, and I don't know the function of a disambiguation page. Can you do it? Firecircle (talk) 19:15, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Firecircle (talk) 05:57, 10 January 2008 (UTC) I'm learning that if something in the text is colored red, it indicates an error. Seeing this, I corrected all the access dates to the correct format (they turned blue). Firecircle (talk) 05:57, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

I see that someone removed the refutation of the Solutrean Hypothesis. Since it does not relate directly to the fossile known as Luzia, I was planning on removing it. As it stands now, I am leaving it up to you whether to keep that reference or not. Firecircle (talk) 00:10, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

I've just removed a couple of sentences that looked like unreferenced speculation (original research in other words) in the Solutrean paragraph. (pretty unlikely now if the recent stuff on genetics is correct anyway).--Doug Weller (talk) 15:14, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

I appreciate everyone's help on this article. I probably shouldn't have ever introduced the Solutrean Hypothesis, but being a "diffusionist" at heart I just went overboard. Thanks again for the help. Firecircle (talk) 03:54, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
