So things can actually be a bit more complicated than we believe when viewing the peopling of the Americas.

For example, if the Celts arose from areas within present-day China, than some European-appearing North American 10,000 y/o remains (eg, Kennewick man) may have STILL come from Asia. What do you think?

Absolutely.

I'm thinking that many of us could trace our 'roots' to Sundaland. The Melanesians (Blacks) and the Australian Aboriginies have incidences of red-hair and the Libyians have the same incidence of red-hair as the Irish.

The most ancient people of Ireland are the Formorians. I've even read that some anthropologists think that the San Bushmen of Southern Africa may be the Leprechauns of Irish legend.

Also, I think the term 'Black Irish' has very deep roots in Ireland.

"The Fomorians were an ancient sea-faring race it is thought that they originally came from Northern Africa or Asia as they are described as having dark hair and dark skin in the original accounts. The name 'Fomor' literally means 'beneath the sea' from the Gaelic faoi-mhuir. Today scholars believe that 'Mor' means 'phantom' or 'spirit' and therefore proves that the Fomorians were considered to be Gods with magical powers."

I guess I've made a mess of your wine thread, sorry.
