Ancient man Ping!

Very interesting DNA story about 4000 year old human that they did a gentic code break down on.

So you can be called a “native” if you immigrated here 5,000 years ago?

He looks like he was really into Death Metal.

[Carry_Okie]

A civil blam.

It appears ancient people were more mobile than we thought.

Ancient Greenland gene map has a surprise

Ancient Greenland was part of Atzlan?

A genome map wasn’t all he needed....He apparently had the gene for getting lost...thats a heckuva trip from Siberia to Greenland.

Yet another piece of evidence that suggests the Arctic Ocean has been ice-free in the past.

Marco Polo wrote that he sailed to a spot on the ocean around 1200AD where he saw “the pole star in the south”. Since he also used a crude magnetic compass, and assuming* that magnetic north at that time was somewhere near its current position, that means that he sailed an ice-free Arctic Ocean almost to Greenland. This is quite possible, in my view, since Earth’s temperature then was several degrees warmer than current “high” temperatures.

*admittedly a somewhat shaky assumption

Thanks. Ping.

It’s not too surprising that North America has had more than one group migrate in from outside of NA. This process continues today.

[Larry Lucido]

Green genes?

I’d love to know how this guy got to Greenland.

Probably just an isolated incident, he went off course. And they called him “Wrong Way Cro-Magnon!”
