The editor who wrote this headline needs to be flayed alive.

Great headline. I envisioned a group of skin-clad hunter-gatherers with a microscope saying "Holy crap, we got chromosomes. Let's paddle to America!"

Well, you can't prove it didn't happen.

For a long time I have found it hard to beleive that Polynesians would spend thousands of years island hopping eastward only to stop at Easter Island.

Haha. The headline makes it sound like chromosomes were discovered 18,000 years ago.

There are human sites in SA that go back 300,000 years. These are just a bunch of newcomers.

Many years ago I was visiting a friend in NYC. He showed me an ancient figurine about 10 inches tall. I don’t remember if it was wooden or stone. He asked me if I knew where it was from. I said, “That’s easy. It’s from Egypt...probably out of a pyramid.” He laughed, and told me it was found in Peru.

They found a mammoth butchering site in New Mexico dated at 37,000 years ago.

Yup! Ships, not shoes...

Or canoes, not moccasins.

Chromosomes are nothing more than white heteropatriarchy supremacy keeping trans and BIPOC people down. I heard it from colleges...
