A centuries-old skull found in northern New South Wales in late 2011, in Canberra

Shades of Kennewick man.....

Um, okay.

Could it be...the missing link???

Read “1421; The Year China Discovered America.” Learn about colonies established by the Chinese on Australia, and on North, Central and South America. It is not deniable. And the people left behind were not all Chinese, racially speaking.

It doesn’t have a brain in the skull so they have narrowed it down to a democrat.

Before Australia was officially found, Spanish and later Dutch explorers had been stumbling around the area, somehow just missing the continent. Perhaps this was a guy who was shipwrecked?

I really do believe that people in those days and even in ancient times have gotten around a lot more than we realize.

It seems undeniable. Besides, there was motive. A pretty strong force. Gems, Gold, Medicines, Weapons, just don't grow on trees. They had to search the world over. So they did.

I believe it was the early Vikings that explored through what was to become Russia. Trade routes are the keys to most exploration. Most of them follow rivers. Others cross oceans.

"And the anthropologist report states the skull is that of a Caucasoid aged anywhere from 28 to 65."

I wonder how they tell that ?

[digger48]

they studied “Creepy Ass Cracker 101”

Agree on 1421, awesome book!

Being a born and bred New South Welshman I have to point out ‘Where's the rest of the skeleton that at some point was attached to the head in question ?’. A bone of contention. Northern NSW has a sizeable population of new age religionists. Maybe a skull used in some drug crazed ritual. Alas poor Yorrick.... Ok mate.

Well..no. Kennewick man wasn’t Caucasion. His morphology didn’t fit any modern population. This guy is definately Caucasion. This story is concluding that the guy was European but it doesn’t say exactly why. He could have been from Asia as well but he was definately not native Australian.

“I really do believe that people in those days and even in ancient times have gotten around a lot more than we realize.”

I agree. I also believe that there was a lot that went on in this world in the past that we don’t yet know. I think we think we know a whole lot more than we really do.

AINU Of Japan.

Ancient Encounters

The 'Stick Man' Cometh (Kennewick Man's Cousin?)

The Samurai And The Ainu

Ainu and Polynesians are given as the closest affinity for Kennewick but the differences were enough not to place him in those groups.

“Using the principal component scores to generate inter-individual distances (Van Vark and Schaafsma 1991), the Kennewick individual is closest to south Pacific (Moriori, Easter Island) and the Ainu of Japan. The typicality probabilities for the PC reduced data, which are the least conservative estimates of group membership, all indicate that the Kennewick cranium is not morphologically similar to any modern human population (Table 7)” http://www.cr.nps.gov/archeology/kennewick/powell_rose.htm
