And I've already read those papers. I've read most of what VMS researchers have written about plants. It's garbage research. Poor scholarship.
The Bonolobus chloranthus picture? That's an ATYPICAL picture of the plant. It usually doesn't look like that. They cherry-picked an atypical picture of the plant TO FIT THEIR THEORY. They did NOT include the European plant that looks more like the VMS plant than their example. BAD SCHOLARSHIP.
The Philodendron mexicanum? They picked it to fit their theory. There are a DOZEN European plants that ALSO look like this drawing and they didn't include them. BAD SCHOLARSHIP.
BAD RESEARCH.
When I told you that there is a pocket in the U.S. where the climatic conditions are similar to a region in Italy, I was not putting down the Americas. I was INFORMING you that there are places on the planet where some of the same plants are found or CLOSE LOOK-ALIKES are found.
I have written blogs about the Janick/Talbert/Tucker research. Maybe you should read them before you trust their "evidence" and their conclusions:
Janick/Tucker misinterpretation of medieval characters: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
Janick/Tucker questionable interpretation of animal drawings: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
Talbert/Tucker questionable identification of plants (tunnel-vision): You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
Janick/Tucker HIGHLY questionable identification of fish: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
They're not doing honest research. They are choosing examples that fit their theory and ignoring the ones that contradict their theory.
BAD SCHOLARSHIP.
Their possession of university credentials has never prevented me from classifying Janick, Talbert and Tucker as crackpots. There can be no justification for rejecting the radiocarbon dating especially since it has not yet been proven that any drawing inside the VMS depicts something that postdates the year 1244 let alone the year 1438.
It is simply not credible that someone in Spain would store blank vellum for a hundred or more years, then bring it to Mexico in the 16th century to create an encrypted herbal there. The sanity of Janick, Talbert and Tucker is questionable, though for money or prestige, academics have often proposed absurd things.
Know that the opinions of charlatans and crackpots have no bearing on the truth or falsehood of any theory. In other words, it is not appropriate to reject all Made-in-the-Americas theories for the VMS on the basis of the bad research of Janick, Talbert and Tucker. At this point in time, even good research has failed to provide an indisputable case for Europe.
