There were Neanderthals in the Americas?
Mohawk oral tradition says:
“...the Stone Giant who lived in the rocks [caves?]. Traditional enemies of the Haudenosaunee, the Stone Giants were much feared cannibals. They lived in upstate New York before the Haudenosaunee, and they resisted being destroyed. Like giants everywhere, they eventually were OUTWITTED. When they died, their bodies became stones. That is why there are so many stones all around us. These stones remind us of the Stone Giants.”

This is more crapola from the geniuses in genetic engineering that have promised the sun, moon and stars for over thirty years and delivered almost nothing in translational science.
“Please give me another gazillion dollar grant and I promise to be better next time around.” The major opportunities for translational science will be delivered from metabolomics and epigenetics. Our food environment and lifestyle environments are the underlying causes for the degenerative diseases like diabetes, stroke & heart disease. Hint: Humans with dark skin suffer from dramatic health disadvantages when they reside in northern latitudes. 12% of the entire human genome is regulated by vitamin d3. 2400 genes can be switched on/off when a person is vitamin d3 deficient.
