'First Americans Were Australian'
Not according to the Scientologist story of Creation.
btw, a great reference site:
What the hell do i know?
I think it was Jewish traders looking for a nice sunny spot away from suicide bombers...
Dont forget the Chinese report that they reached the New World. Every year there’s a new group making the same claim. Even pResident Dumbo said the mexicans were here first...and they’ve never left.
Not unless there was a bottle store here.
I had to turn my computer back on because I remembered there is a Russian song about that.
There are changes through time that literally mean nothing ~ one important one has to do with ROUND SKULLS. Currently East Asians have "round skulls". So do North Asians and, lo and behold many West Asians ~ take a good look at those Eastern European skulls and darned if they don't look round. Yet, the Eastern Europeans have no more ancestors from East Asian than do Western Europeans! The only major population of "white folks" with a large East Asian background are in the Middle East, and South Asia (Pakistan, India, etc.) And virtually none of them have "round skulls" except that sometimes they find remains with round skulls.
This particular report is based on skull measurements ~ and for every item brought forward, there is, somewhere, in somebody's scientific journal, a demonstration of the exact opposite finding.
You have to go way beyond skull shape and "roundness" into fundamental individual identification points ~ which I don't see in this report although I do see facial reconstructions that do exactly that.
Makes me think the author has some other news up his sleeve, and it's going to be all about Australians and Homo habilis. You have to remember, they claim there were still wild, natural homo habilis types wandering the land as recently as 14000 years ago ~ and they have some skulls and skeletons to prove it. Now we have a report that Australian types were in the Americas.
What the Australians want to prove, and may have, is that homo habilis and local successors had the ability to sail sea worthy boats for thousands of miles!~
That explains all the digiridoo music.
"The oldest human remains found in the Americas were recently "discovered" in the storeroom of Mexico's National Museum of Anthropology. Found in central Mexico in 1959, the five skulls were radiocarbon dated by a team of researchers from the United Kingdom and Mexico and found to be 13,000 years old. They pre-date the Clovis culture by a couple thousand years, adding to the growing evidence against the Clovis-first model for the first peopling of the Americas."
"Of additional significance is the shape of the skulls, which are described as long and narrow, very unlike those of modern Native Americans."
Anyone ever think that the Americas didn’t need to be *discovered*?
Maybe there were and have been people here all along?
It would make sense or nonsense if the whole Pacific landmass was stuck together with Gowanaland and Lemuria and they just walked to Rio from Perth.
for later

They need to dig deeper, but the boys with the shovels are loathe to do that, because they have convinced themselves there isn't anything down there except dirt & rocks.
The only thing that is certain is that the taxonomists really screwed up our specie's designation. It should be Homo Meanderingcuss, because that is the one thing we have always done: meander all over the place; stop and maul a locality for a while, then move elsewhere, where the mooching is easier.
