It’s Chris Columbus’s fault.

This couldn’t be. Everyone knows the Indians were benevolent, pastoral people whose only goal was to paint with all the colors of the wind. Didn’t you see “Pocahantas?” Or “Dances with Wolves?” It wasn’t until those filthy Europeans came on the scene that murder, mayhem, and strife were loosed.

Both Nelson and Edgar said it's too soon to determine whether the deformations were intentional or merely the result of cradleboarding, the practice of carrying babies on boards strapped to mothers' backs.

That was my first thought. Fascinating story. I look forward to seeing how this develops.

Didn’t realize that evil, white, european males had been in the area that early. Only we are capable of behaving in that fashion.

Maybe the Gallina were prehistoric telemarketers. And the other tribes couldn’t take it anymore.

“Why you always call during Dinner?”
“No, me no want insurance. Me no care about competitive quotes!”
“Survey?!! Heroes is on! Why you no call at other times?”

I love these posts, but I wish archaeologists didn’t have such an aversion to cameras.

Humans have been wiping out rival groups since there have been rival groups of humans. There’s some evidence that Blacks were in South America 20,000 years ago, before the Indians. Kennewick Man was a different racial group, non-extinct, in North America.

Thirty seven years ago I came upon a report about the Gallina People. It was so interesting I went to the Tulsa City Library to find the original article on the subject.

Then I found another report that said there were no Gallina people, no archeology report, no artifacts. It was the work of a writer’s overactive imagination.

A year later I was in Aztec, NM (where I lived as a child). I visited the Aztec ruins and asked again about the Gallina People.

The Ranger said they get several inquiries a year about them and to his knowledge, they were no Gallina People.
Nothing. Nada. Zip.

Now we have an article from the National Geographic...So, Is there or isn’t there? And why the claim there isn't.

I’m glad to see some nomenclature works across all disciplines:
