I’m pretty sure he had Caucasoid features. This is why there was such a fight to keep him out of the hands of the natives, he didn’t belong.

See post #32.

Yeah, I read the rest after I posted, sorry.

No problem, I post on the fly too.

I really hope they do the DNA studies on this one. That ancient DNA is pretty hard to find and every sample is teaching us new things.

As an example, a human tooth from southern Alaska (On Your Knees Cave), dating to 10,300 years ago, produced mtDNA that was found in living individuals stretching along the Pacific coast from California to the tip of South America! Talk about good evidence for an early coastal migration!

The article says that Luzia and African/Australoid features and conjectures that she and her people migrated down from the Bering Sea. Why not drifted across from Africa. Certainly there are currents that flow the right way. A storm could do it. Several groups of new world animals drifted over from Africa.

The little person from Mammoth Cave. Now they wonder if this girl/boy may have been older. Well, with the discovery of the Flores Island "Hobbits";, perhaps there is some validity to the legends of “little people”, leprechauns, etc. Scientists definitely need to be more open minded, and take a closer look at myths and legends for the truths they may reveal. Question. Is it possible to get DNA from the skeletons of creatures found in the La Brea pitz?

"Question. Is it possible to get DNA from the skeletons of creatures found in the La Brea pitz?"

I would expect so.
