"The oldest male ancestor lived 100,000 years ago, while the oldest female ancestor lived 250,00 years ago; wouldn't that mean that those really old women wore out all but one man over the course of about 150,000 years?"

This is Luzia, she died 11,500 years ago at the age of 24 in Brazil. She is the oldest dated skeleton ever found in the Americas.

Thanks for the great post. I liked hearing what the Apaches had to say about their origins.

This 'where shall we begin' problem has to be resolved by common agreement. In the area of English law, the solution was to go back to the Great Flood, Noah's Flood and call that a clean slate. tabula rasa. In America, this could be going back to the date of adoption of the Constitution of the United States. What other regions of the New World might do is up to them. Whatever science might discover is a side issue.

Anyway, that seems like an example of being practical about such things.

the Mormon church is supposed to have very elaborate genealogical files

I've found so many errors in the LDS files on my family that I tend to disregard them as a source.
