My understanding is that Indians started to have dark hair and skin around 6,000 to 7,000 years ago. American Indians are in the "Age of Black Hair". I under how Mongoloids came about? I believe they found the oldest one in northern Asia.

I remember you once said that all Asians and Europeans are descended from Ainus.

"I remember you once said that all Asians and Europeans are descended from Ainus."

Well, split from a common source...maybe the Jomon/Ainu...maybe from some group we don't even know about yet. We do know that the northern Mongoloids split/descended from the southern Mongoloids.

Arlington Springs Woman is the oldest skeleton ever found in the Americas. Previous to this accurate dating Luzia (Brazil) was the oldest.

I hedged because I vaguely recall one of your posts about some Mexican discoveries that could be older -- but I was depending on my very fallible memory and didn't take time to check.

While I support the coastal migration concept I also think it very likely that people got blown by the trade winds from Africa to South America on more than one occasion. Some of the latest DNA stuff seems to argue for that as well. It's interesting times for this stuff -- finally!

Believe me, I understand that.
