	South America - LoveToKnow 1911
		During the glacial epoch the south of the continent and as far north as latitude 27° on the west coast was covered with glaciers that flowed down from the high mountain ranges.
		South of 41° S. the Boast is characterized by a vast system of fjords and islands, probably produced by the recent submergence of a mountain system and the consequent invasion of its steep-sided valleys by the ocean.
		South America is therefore pre-eminently a Latin continent; its few British, Dutch and German colonies count for less in the great ensemble of its population than do the depleted aboriginal races themselves.

		South American archaeologists naturally look back to Panama and Central America for cultural origins, but the dominant ecosystem in that region is tropical forest, and the only relationships that have been recognized are the widely scattered fishtail and Clovis-like fluted points.
		Although the earliest dated sites in western South America have been found on the puna where camelids abound and tubers can be collected, several localities have been found on or near the Pacific Coast that are more significant because of their artefacts content than their age.
		Short triangular bifacial points and bolas stones were found in the third occupation dated between 8180 and 6560 B. The triangular points and overlapping dates suggest some relationship with Toldense (Orquera l987), although the lack of fishtail points in Argentine Patagonian sites of similar age remains a puzzle.

	About South Africa - Travel, Maps, Flag and Information
		South Africa is often referred to as The Rainbow Nation - a term coined by Archbishop Desmond Tutu and later elaborated upon by then-President Nelson Mandela as a metaphor to describe the country's newly-developing multicultural diversity in the wake of separatist Apartheidist ideology.
		South Africa is located at the extreme south of Africa, with a long coastline that stretches more than 2,500 km and across two oceans (the Atlantic and the Indian).
		While it may be argued that there is no "single" culture in South Africa because of its ethnic diversity, South Africans of all races and backgrounds are united by a sincere desire to see to it that the horrors and injustices of Apartheid are never again repeated.

		It is extremely important to remember that in understanding the earliest humans in South America, archaeologists had traditionally viewed the problem in terms of the North American data because 1.

		As you might expect, this storm was pretty much in a "no man's land" area so we didn't have any confirmed observations from any land based stations, and all of the ships previously in the area had long since scattered.
		After assimilating all of the factual observational data from the satellite and inputting it into Surfline's LOLA Swell Model, we were able view the forecasted results of this incredible swell as it would propagate across the Pacific.
		And finally, the south and southwest facing surf spots in Oregon, Washington, Canada, and even Alaska also enjoyed solid overhead waves between the 28th and 30th of April before this swell ran out of ocean, more than 11 days and 7,000 miles later from its origin.

		the larger points in the current Israel/Palestine/Lebanon crisis are two: Olmert's apparent lack of "maturity" as PM for lack of a better word, and seeming inability to measure his govt's response, has escalated the situation close to a point of no return.
		given the harsh rhetoric and extreme measures being taken it appears the the situation is being run by the war-makers in the cabinet and there seems to be no countervailing voice of reason, moderation or diplomacy.
		Even if America had arrived in Iraq with a detailed post-war plan, twice the number of troops, and all the counterinsurgency expertise in the world, my guess is that we would have found ourselves in exactly the same spot.

		In South Africa, the caracal is known as the rooikat, which means "red cat" in Afrikaans, because its coat takes on a rusty hue in that region.

		In South Africa, caracals are the stuff of legends, but instead of admiration for these agile cats, the tales portray them as ignoble cowards.

		Whenever the land bridge existed the south shore remained mild relative to the interior because Arctic ocean currents were cut off.
		The major basis for this assumption is because the earliest generally recognized cultural manifestation in North America is the Clovis technology, easily recognized by highly sophisticated fluted projectile points used to kill mammoth and bison between 11,200 and 10,900 B. Haynes l980; Haynes, et al.
