“...could force scientists to re-think earlier theories.”
Again.
Why doesn’t common sense apply to any of this? The races rose where they were and still are. Not much has changed since the advent of modern man except for the invention of air travel which has completely plunged ALL of this into the chaos that seems to set the “scientific” community on its freaking ear.
Black men did not travel to Europe and suddenly become snow white or vice versa. Nor did they suddenly become Chinese and/or other orientals.
Black men and white men and orientals did not travel to eastern North America and suddenly become copper-skinned Lenape.
it amuses me that the origin of Native Americans has always been supposed to be from the Old World - the premise seeming to be that because the ‘New” world and it's people were unknown and not a part of "history" that the people here then could not have been native to the the Americas, but must have come from the ‘known world.’
Same with the Bering Straight theory. The Inuits are more like the Mongols of the Steppes than the Natives of the lower Americas and well may be related to the Mongols. HOWever - Could the migration not have gone in the other direction just as easily?
