Fossil remains only proved some came here and froze to death,


What part of "Modern manatees have been in Florida for over one million
years (probably with intermittent absences during the Ice Ages); i.e., a lot
longer than people have lived here." seems unclear to you?


The part that explains how they lived here in the winter before man
started building power plants.
Manatee start to die when the water gets much below 70f. At 68f they
lose more than two thirds.
Manatee did a seasonal migration, just like they do up the mid
atlantic coast now but the ones who stayed too long at the fair, froze
to death.
The other problem with fossils is they may date from the time that it
was a lot warmer and the beach was in Orlando.


There's significant scientific evidence that North, Central and South
America were first populated by nomads and their descendants who
traveled across the Bering Strait. You know, sort of like the manatees
came north. Thus, mankind is no more native to these shores than
manatees, right?

I'm not so egocentric that I believe the world exists for mankind alone.
Co-existence. Mankind tends to push out any critters in its way. Perhaps
your "go slow because of manatee zones" are a kind of cosmic payback.
