390 feet of sea level rise in 10,000 years and it is not worth a single word of mention as to the cause. Yet we are deluged with scolding about what might be a few inches of change in the last few centuries.

This begs the question- which level is optimum? The one from 10,000 years ago or from only 100 years ago?

They managed to get the Kennewick man back into Native American hands.

I read an account long ago that the conquistadors were amused at the habit of Peruvians using coconut shells on their heads to hunt ducks from below the water - the ducks in the habit of ignoring floating coconuts were grabbed by the feet. This was found to be a custom also in China, thousands of miles away. There are some drawings in existence made by the missionaries that accompanied the explorers that show this practice.

and, women were among the first explorers - so much for patriarchal suppression.

The “Naharon” skull is female and pointing to Alaska and Greenland - Greenland is closely associated with Vikings. But Greenland is nowhere near Alaska. “The Pit” skull points to Europe; Besides the UK, Normandy is also a Viking conquest. This find could change history all by itself.

But wait, there’s more - we have the “Las Palmas” skull, linking Asians and native americans, which could be expected, while the last skull, “Muknal”, links Artic population to ‘modern SA populations’. How did Artic pointing man end up in Central America, bypassing the ‘asian’ and ‘indian’ elements altogether??

When you add in the Mayan legend that their blue-eyed, blond ‘gods’ came on the sea from the east and disappeared the same way...We’ve got Vikings or Europeans up and down the landmass from Iceland to Tulum, Mexico to Brazil? Argentina? Chili?

It boggles.

Reminds me of that monkey head soup w/ floating eyes, in “Temple of Doom”.

You are conflating two different shots.

First, she orders soup - and is brought the bowl of soup with floating eyes.

Then, at the culmination of the banquet scene, she is relieved to hear that dessert will be brought - only to discover that it is "Monkey Brains on Ice."

Regards,

Yet there remain sites in Mexico and S. Am that are dated to 160,000 years ago.

Tracing the mDNA of native S Ams, the origins is Malaysian and Indonesian - blood groups also point in the same direction. The entry was made long before the N Am peoples arrived.

Absolutely... There was once a very viable and possible trade route from Hudson bay to the great lakes and down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. And possibly even at the end of the Neolithic Period.

There have been prismatic spear points found in east coastal Panama knapped in a particularly unique style that can only be found in one other place in the world, Scandinavia...

That’s how Scrooge McDuck got to be so rich...reparations from Peruvians for killing members of his family.

The Q haplogroup of Y-DNA is extremely common among the native populations of North and South America—over 90% among the Navajo, for example. It is thought to have originated in Siberia, probably in the Altai/Lake Baikal area. It is also found in very low numbers in European populations (mostly under 1% but notably higher in a few locales—7% in one town in Sicily, 14% on the island of Hvar in Croatia, etc.). One theory is that it was brought to Europe by the Huns. Among white Americans and African Americans the frequency is under 1%.

There is no genetic evidence of Europeans or Caucasions or Mongolians. NA populations predate those classifications anyway.

The UK article doesn't reflect the paper referenced. It's subject isn't about a "melting pot of different peoples and cultures", it's about a lack of understanding of the breath of genetic diversity in the founding population.

"Morphological variation of the early human remains from Quintana Roo, Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico: Contributions to the discussions about the settlement of the Americas"
"It is important to clarify here that association with specific populations in the reference series does not imply a direct gene-flow or migration between them. In other words, strong morphological affinities between El Pit I (or other early North American specimens) with European populations does not imply that there was a migration from Europe to the Americas."
"Finally, our conclusions are based on the assumption that the individuals from Quintana Roo accurately represent the morphological diversity from their original population. "
