[a fool in paradise]

The characteristic fluting of the stone weapons serve as archeological evidence that the boy, who died some 12,600 years ago, came from the Clovis culture.

I have difficulty with the fluting. While I know there are differences in culture, there is also sameness. As far as being linked to Europe...that’s likely a duh...What are the choices??

Thanks a fool in paradise, and thanks (may prefer to remain unnamed) for the link into here in FReepmail.

Despite general resistence, representatives of tribes in the US recently gave their blessing for DNA analysis of the remains of a Stone Age child... sprinkled with celebratory red dust and given distinctive stone artifacts for his last journey... some 12,600 years ago... from the Clovis culture... in present day Montana... Danish geneticist Eske Willerslev has analyzed the boy's origins and discovered that he descends from a Siberian tribe with roots tracing back to Europe. Some of the boy's ancestors are likely even to have lived in present-day Germany... More than 80 percent of all native peoples in the Americas... are descended from Montana boy's lineage.

And the other 20 percent... :')
