What did I miss? A year or two ago there was this loud voice saying Neanderthals didn’t breed with humans. Now they’re finding Neanderthal DNA in humans?

You missed a whole bunch of threads on that.

These people don’t want to permit any ship contact between Europe and the East Coast of the US. Or South America. Oh well! They undoubtly are land lubbers.

Aboriginal Australians were the first to separate from other modern humans, around 70,000 years ago.

Sometimes it doesn't pay to be an early adopter.

``DNA from the hair demonstrates that indigenous Aboriginal Australians were the first to separate from other modern humans, around 70,000 years ago-``

``Only then did they spread out and colonise Europe and Asia, but the indigenous Aborigines had been established in Australia for 25,000 years.``

``The boomerang was invented between 25000 to 50000 years ago-``
www.culturequest.us/aboriginal_tools/boomerang.htm

70,000 minus 25,000 equals 45,000 years= coincidence?

``Throwing sticks like boomerangs have been around for more than 15 000 years and were invented independently by a number of different cultures. People in Egypt, Africa, Europe and North America used throwing sticks but the returning boomerang is unique to the Australian Aborigines.``

I’m assuming the Maori are part of that group, as well? I guess they just continued the journey on over to what is now New Zealand.

If the DNA fits.

in order to open a hair pin lock you have to make a hair pin turn.

The Maori are Polynesians. Last I heard the Polynesians originated in Taiwan before spreading across a large part of the Pacific and eventually reaching New Zealand. I don’t think they are any more closely related to the Australian aborigines than any other Asian people are.
