North, bro the quality of these documentaries are honestly in the same tier as the ones from professional companies. Glad you're posting again.

I continue to marvel that you're "just a college kid in the Midwest." Your content is so comprehensively researched and expertly presented! I look forward to the great content I know you'll continue to produce - and even improve upon!

I volunteer at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, where I teach about anthropology. Right outside of the human evolution room where I’m usual situated is a little wall about the Folsom spear points along with the original point with the bison ribs and a few other relevant artifacts. I love talking about it and it’s history with the guests as it’s such a little known but interesting and significant topic. Thank you for bringing more light to this, me and I’m sure the rest of the DMNS team are grateful for this.

Hey man, I know you probably won't read this, but I just graduated with a BA in History and a minor in Anthropology, as well as completing an archaeology field school, and I just want you to know that your videos (and your linked sources) have been very helpful both for alleviating boredom and providing motivation. Hope everything is going well, and I hope you continue to show the same passion for this throughout your life. Cheers, man.

I’ve been working in New Mexico for about 14 years now, doing archaeological and biological clearances for projects. Power lines, road extensions, that sort of thing. The sheer volume of artifacts here is amazing. There are places you genuinely can’t walk without hitting pottery or lithic materials. Things that would be amazing anywhere else are barely even noticed here. And their stone tool work, I mean, damn. The time, skill, materials is all just incredible. This is only job where I can get mad because work is over and I need to look more. It’s great.

It never ceases to amaze me how sophisticated & efficient bone, stone & wood tools/weapons truly are.

Does anybody else like to fall asleep to the gentle continuous sound of his voice? Merry Christmas North 02.

Thank you for your thorough acknowledgement of Mcjunkins Involvement in helping to reshape firmly entrenched paradigms. It pleases me when non-academics make important discoveries to further science. Thank you for your extensive efforts in producing these well done episodes. As a "college kid from the mid-west " you are doing one hell of a job!

Amazing how advanced Folsom culture actually was. From the advanced stone-tool techniques, the making of clothing suitable for mountain winter environments, evidence of art and rituals, and even what could be considered industrial-scale bison kills, shows a people highly intelligent and very sophisticated. I can't wait until some actual human remains are found and analyzed from this culture. Probably lost forever are the myths and stories these people passed down through their generations, which would be another whole level of their culture. Pretty amazing! Keep up the great work North 02!

Thank you for this well researched and illustrated video! As a modern person who believes he is proficient with all the conveyances at hand, I am deeply humbled by how our ancestors endured in such a challenging world, with so few tools available.

I can foresee a time in the near future where your studies, videos, and papers become the foundation for a Major course of study. Thank you for your work in pursuit of the knowledge of our past!

Would you ever consider doing a deep dive into the ancient history of the Australian Aborigines?

There are many comments echoing my feelings commending your terrific quality of work. Great narration that is easy to listen to with smooth editing. We are given time to appreciate and absorb the images which, for a lack of another word, are so tactile. The small stories that you create are also engaging. I said this last time, and you were very understanding, that it is important to maintain a balance with these stories. Some will depict triumph while others will remind us of the brutal hardships that were faced. Again, really professional work.

Dude is exceptionally talented. You've got a bright future in this line of work.

Man i love your videos. There's something relaxing about them plus they're very informative as well.

The Folsom culture is truly fascinating. They are the survivors of mass extinction and the younger dryas.

Time to light my blunt and travel back in time with another incrediby imersive and engaging North 02 video and learn about a story of some wonderful ancient culture

Excellent! Your videos are awesome I love the mix of facts and story, it makes for enjoyable and memorable content.

Your videos are so well-organized and so well-written that I look forward to each release. Thank you for sharing your clarity and erudition.
