CLOVIS TECHNOLOGY:
The discovery of the Clovis culture in
New Mexico prompted the settlement of
North America
Clovis people come from the remains.
mostly are tools: scrapers, drills, blades, and distinctive blade-shaped ridged spearheads called Clovis points.
It is known that this technology appeared in the period between

who had clovis-like tools,could reach Patagonia -
located 13,000 km south of
the border between the United States and Mexico United States
and Canada
could probably
cover this distance in a single

Now why go south? in search of new climates and hunting that they found beyond the south
there were giant lazy horses, giant armadillos
(glyptodonts) most of them, except the
saber-toothed lions, pumas and tigers,
they were herbivores.
MEGAFAUNA EXTINCTION: All representatives of the megafauna, that is, giant animals, today
they are extinct. Their extermination, which ended 10,000 years ago. It was massive and
very fast, probably due to hunting by humans.
