Yeah, they just can’t take deivery of the idea that this guy was not European.
Nobody who’s studied him (including the original anthropologist who misidentified him) has called him european. There is no DNA and the physical features resemble most closely Asian populations like the Aniu, Jomon & Polynesians.
Exactly. Regarding “Ainu,” for anyone who’s been around Inuit folks,... It’s also funny, watching movies with settings in Medieval China. “Look Ma! The Injuns are comin’!” Frozen remains of redheads have also been discovered in many sites from the Gobi to northern Siberia, and from there, along the south of Russia to western Europe.
I don’t have any problem with any of that or other discoveries about races. Those of us who guess at the number of generations before us tend to realize something important about ourselves. We each make our individual identity.
I’m an American. “Prehistoric “Kennewick Man’” was also what he made of himself. As for making racial discoveries about ancient people, folks can chase their own tales, if they want to (spelling intentional). Most of the ancients cared more about nationalities and religions than races.
