Sounds like you don't know nuthin' bout this topic Rudder!;)Now one critical question that this discussion[+article+book] raises is what race are the basques? Not only are they linguistically isolated, they're genetically isolated as well. Just because they "look white" doesn't mean that they are genetically 100% caucasoid and have caucasoid lineage.Their contemporary appearance has a lot to do with 1000s of years of intermarriage with white europeans. The same is true for the hungarians who were originally a mongoloid people[phenotypically] but now pretty much look "white" too.Genetics seems to suggest that Basques, Hunza's and Ainu's[possibly Jomons as well] are surviving fragments of an unknown human race/ethnic division which migrated to those regions before any one else did.Analagous to the australoid peoples of S Asia and australia.
