No mention of the perfecrly preserved 8,000 year old brains in these Florida bog people.
Bye, Bye Beringia (8,000 Year Old Site In Florida)
*Skeletal remains of 169 people, split almost evenly between males and females, ranging from 6 to 70 years old. About 75 of the skeletons were relatively intact.
*90 intact human brains that include the oldest DNA samples in the World.
Is this the reason to not mention them?

The European DNA in early americans along the east coast has been known for a while now.

It appears that an earthquake struck the region, flattened the settlement and buried the people before fire spread through the rubble, according to investigators.And then the trouble began.
