America’s native population arises from a single wave of Asian migration
Thursday, 14 December 2023
The CENIEH has participated in some research into the dental variation in Native Americans, whose results suggest that they have a similar degree of affinity with populations in East Asia, and are classified as East Asian between 10% and 15% of the time
(IOW, isn’t 85 to 90 percent of the time)

Durham University used another exciting analysis technique to examine his fossilised teeth, which have chemical traces of what he ate...

People, if you don't floss this is what happens. You think, "Hey, if I die who's gonna care about my dental hygiene?" But noooo... People from two millennia in the future are going to know. And they're putting it on your permanent dental record.

“Sarmatians”

This identity is rather confusing, but if you take a few moments to sort it all out, it turns out that they were a helpful, good people, although dyslexic. They were nonetheless smart, and came from Mars.

“he was buried by himself”.

Must have been a democrat as they are quite animate after death, especially at voting time.

Cool story. But LOADS of speculation in there.
We know that the Brits are pretty slack on dental hygiene.
But this chaps teeth have lasted 2,100 years so far?

No they did not. They were fossilized, says right in the article. So they decayed and turned into fossils.

Historical records indicate that Offord could have been a cavalry man's son, or possibly his slave.

His slave? Don't they know it was EVIL REPUBLICANS who started slavery? 🤓
