ARCHAEOLOGY, PLUMMTREE FILMS AND THE DEEP PAST
COMPILATION AND COMMENTARY
BY LUCY WARNER

TODAY, I HAVE MADE THE ACQUAINTANCE VIA THE WORLDWIDE WEB OF A COUPLE WHO MAKE DOCUMENTARY FILMS UNDER THE NAME PLUMMTREE FILMS. THEY ARE PETER MARSH AND GABI PLUMM. THEY TRAVEL TO BEAUTIFUL AND FASCINATING PLACES, AND TACKLE ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HUMAN ORIGIN QUESTIONS.

MARSH IS A “BRITISH ACADEMIC IN THE FIELDS OF SOCIOLOGY AND SOCIAL WORK.” PLUMM IS DESCRIBED AS A WRITER, AND IS KNOWN FOR ONE BOOK IN PARTICULAR, “THE TWO JAYS OF DRIBBLEPIT THE BIG BOOK” ABOUT TWO “HUMANOID” CHILDREN, BOTH ELEVEN YEARS OLD. I FOUND NO WIKIPEDIA BIO ON PLUMM, BUT HER FACEBOOK PAGE MAY BE AS GOOD: HTTPS://WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/GABI.PLUMM, AND SMASHWORDS HAS HER BIO. SEE: HTTPS://WWW.SMASHWORDS.COM/BOOKS/VIEW/485704.

PLUMMTREE’S WEBSITE IS: HTTPS://WWW.PLUMMTREEPRODUCTIONS.COM/, WHERE LINKS TO ALL ARE FOUND.


THE VIDEOS


THE FIRST, “COUSINS ACROSS THE SEA,” ABOUT A GENETIC LINK BETWEEN TLINGIT INDIANS IN CANADA AND NATIVES OF HAWAII, IS FOUND AT HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=E9NGHRLWLIC.

THE SECOND VIDEO, CALLED “‘THE REDHEADS" NEW ZEALAND ANCIENT HISTORY DOCUMENTARY,” IS FOUND ON HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=2Z6PLYIQSTS.

FINALLY, SEE “SKELETONS IN THE CUPBOARD, EPISODE 2: UNDER THE CARPET” AT HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=X-HHFBCK2OU. THIS IS THE MOST INTERESTING FOR ME, BECAUSE IT CONCERNS THE AUSTRALOIDS, WHO MAY BE THE VERY OLDEST HOMO SAPIENS ON EARTH. FOR MORE ON THAT GROUP, ALL THE FORMS AND LOCATIONS, SEE: HTTP://AUSTHRUTIME.COM/AUSTRALIAN_ABORIGINAL_AMERICAS.HTM.

ALL OF THE AUSTRALOIDS, EXCEPT FOR ONE GROUP, ARE BLACK. THOSE PEPLE ARE THE AINU OF JAPAN, WHO ARE CLEARLY WHITE WITH LIGHT HAIR, BUT THEIR FACIAL FEATURES ARE VERY SIMILAR TO THE OTHERS. IN INDIA AND OTHER PARTS OF SOUTHEAST ASIA, THERE ARE THE VEDDOID RACES, AND IN THE AMERICAS, THE OLMECS. GO TO THE INTERNET AND PULL UP “OLMEC HEADS”, FOUND IN MEXICO. THEY ARE MAJESTIC, BUT EERIE IN THEIR APPEARANCE. I WONDER IF ANY PEOPLE OF OLMEC BLOODLINES STILL EXIST TODAY? I CAN’T HELP WONDERING, WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF THE AUSTRALOIDS? THEY LOOK LIKE, BUT NOT QUITE LIKE AFRICANS. WHERE DID THEY DEVELOP, AND WHEN? WHAT GROUPS INSIDE AFRICA ARE MOST SIMILAR TO THEM?

THE WHOLE RACIALLY TINGED ISSUE OF WHEN PEOPLE BECAME WHITE MAY BE LOOKING AT IT FROM THE WRONG ANGLE. WHILE DARK COLORING TENDS TO BE DOMINANT GENETICALLY, THERE IS SOME VARIANCE AMONG THE GREAT APES WHO ARE CLEARLY OUR NEAR RELATIVES: GORILLA COLORING IS TOTALLY DARK, BUT CHIMPANZEES HAVE WHITE PORTIONS ON THEIR FACES AT LEAST WHEN YOUNG, AND THE ORANGUTAN IS WHITE SKINNED WITH RED HAIR. ALL OF THESE COLOR VARIATIONS MUST BE GENETICALLY BUILT INTO THE RANGE OF POSSIBILITIES FOR APES AND HUMANS. IT’S JUST A GENETIC ACCIDENT. THERE ARE SOME OTHER RACIAL GROUPS AS WELL -- THE MELANESIANS, THE BUSHMAN-HOTTENTOT, AND OTHER SMALLER VARIANCES. I READ A GOOD BIT OF A BOOK WHILE STILL IN COLLEGE ON THE MANY TYPES AND CHARACTERISTICS USED IN MAKING THE JUDGMENT, EVEN DOWN TO THE TYPE OF EARWAX AND TOOTH SHAPES. THAT'S WHY MANY PEOPLE NOWADAYS ARE SAYING THAT "RACE" AS WE THINK OF IT SIMPLY DOESN'T EXIST. TAKE A LOOK AT THE WIKI ARTICLE ON EARLIEST KNOWN TYPES OF BOATS AND RAFTS, BECAUSE THAT IS A CRUCIAL PART OF WHY THOSE "PRIMITIVE" PEOPLE WERE ABLE TO POPULATE THE WHOLE WORLD AS WE HAVE DONE. I LOVE ARCHAEOLOGY BECAUSE THERE IS TRULY AN ENDLESS LIST OF SUBJECTS TO RESEARCH AND ENJOY.
