Oppenheimer says that although his DNA data indicates there were only three 'waves' of entrants to the Americas...he still believes (other data) there were five different waves.
I wish we could get more info about the bog/swamp mummies found in Florida. The original DNA sample that was used to declare them 'European' was found to be contaminated with modern DNA.
I know who you are talking about but I can't spell it either! lol
The Ainu might have been a European people. The oldest pictures of them show red hair and beards, as well as taller stature than modern day Japanese. Why else would they be discriminated against?
Hi Blam. We have the same issue of discrimination against a tribe in China, one now known to be the descendants of the very definitely European Tocharians, who brought us the silk road, suture and other innovations, technologies formerly credited to the Chinese. Like KM, the liberals refuse to acknowledge the facts. Check out Nova's "Mysterious Mummies of China" and you'll see what I mean. There is irrefuteable evidence that these European people were wiped out by modern Chinese, and the racist Chinese government tried to cover it up as the evidence surfaced.
When they say KM was an "Ainu" that is code for white or mixed race. This is a huge blow to white hating liberals. I am in 7th heaven.
"About 40% of Japanese have Jomon (Ainu) teeth. 60% have the type of teeth common among the Chinese and American Indians."
American Indians are Mongoloids. Ainu are European and Mongoloid mix. There's no surprise here.
Sorry, Ainu are NOT European. The big split is between European types and East Asian types. There's a further East Asian split between the Chinese types and the NE Asian types we call Ainu, or in ancient Japan, the Jomon.<
The Northernmost population is almost 90% A+. This is where the Sa'ami live. Although many of them look particularly Asiatic, you find a sudden, very precipitous fall-off in A+ blood as you move to the East.
One interpretation is that the Sa'ami are different than their Eastern neighbors even if they look alike.
This suggests that the original European population circa Toba looked much more like the Asian population of the time and we see a residual of that in Samiland.
There's also a precipitous falloff in blood type A+ as you move South as well. That's where you encounter a much more recent movement of people into Europe from the Middle-East and Africa.
That old saying the French and Germans have that "Africa begins at the Pyranees" is wrong ~ Africa actually begins at the Baltic! (ROTFLMAO).
The Nazi racialists would have really been upset at what we know now, eh?!
Doesn't really matter, since "mohawk" was not what we called ourselves. We are Kahniankehaka, the People of the Flint. The word "Mohawk" came from the word "Mohowaanuck", which meant "man-eater" in the language of those Narragansett wussies. The europeans picked up on that and it stuck...
However, I have heard and read many times that our people at some point may have migrated from the Southwest somewhere. So, who knows?
If I recall correctly there is, or was, a nation of indians in Northern Mexico, Southern Texas where historically incidents of Red Hair and Blue Eyes was fairly high pre-contact...
Very cool, thanks.
