![]() There are indeed those times when one is left to wonder about the blue’s appetite for human. If they had a taste for human flesh, no one would go swimming. A school of feeding blues will cut a bunker pod to ribbons. What they possess in strength is surpassed by their ferocity. Saltwater anglers are very well acquainted with the brute strength of these yellow-eyed battlers–for my money, the hardest fighting fish that swims. If a hungry bluefish (aka chopper) were to go head to head with a piranha, my money would be on the bluefish. Hakai Magazine, SMITHSONIAN.A school of feeding blues will cut a bunker pod to ribbons.

Archived at the Wayback Machine - The story of Jacques Cinq-Mars and the Bluefish Caves shows how toxic atmosphere can poison scientific progress."Archaeological Find Puts Humans in North America 10,000 Years Earlier Than Thought". A later paper questioned the dating (based on claimed disturbances) and the culturality of the faunal remains, but support for the 2017 study was reiterated by the author of that report. A review of the site in 2017 found it to be 24,000 years old, lending support to the "Beringian standstill" hypothesis - that the ancestors of Native Americans spent considerable time isolated in a Beringian refuge during the Last Glacial Maximum before populating the Americas. This was considered controversial as it was in contrast to the Clovis-First theory, widely accepted by academics at the time, which considered the earliest settlement date of North America to be around 13,000 BP. The site was excavated by archaeologist Jacques Cinq-Mars between 19, and the initial radiocarbon dating suggested an age of 24,000 before present (BP). The Old Crow Flats, another important area with early human presence, are located about 75 km northeast of the Bluefish Caves. The first cave contains various animal bones that appear to have been dragged there by predators findings of tool marks and some tools themselves point to a human presence. This site is made up of three small caves, ranging from 10 to 30 m 3 (350 to 1,060 cu ft). Bluefish Cave was initially known to the local First Nations, but was popularized by a fishing expedition in 1976, and later by researchers.
