Primitive Mexican tribesmen celebrate bountiful harvest in ancient rite
Our first posting of this article was pulled by JimRob for a copyright complaint...I think it was The Independent
If Europeans were first in the area now known as Mexico City, it’s time for the Mexicans to go back to where they came from.
We have a predicament.
"Scientists in Britain have identified the oldest skeleton ever found" proves only that it's the oldest skeleton FOUND. But interesting article, none the less.
This story is rich for making fun of the aztlan/reconquista folks.
bfl
lol, I mentioned this to a latino aquaintenance, they went balistic. the thought that white europeans predate american indians, what a hoot.
I demand reparations on behalf of my long lost cousins, who were the victims of genocide!
Thor Heyerdahl would not have been surprised.
That’s probably right,...making the arguement we were here first more useless.
I expect they'll be teaching Euro languages in Mexicans schools...?
Doesn't this call for a RereConquest, and doesn't that make us REreConquistadores...?
Did they find an ancient solar leaf-blower along with the lass..?

This is just racist, sexist, homophobia!
(/sarcasm)
The land mass of the U.S. was essentially empty when the settlers arrived. The fact that a few million (or less) aboriginals eked out a primitive existence on the land prior to that is not relevant to the debate of "who owns the land". Those questions were settled by our ancestors, maybe not to the liking of everyone, but you can't please all the world.
Interesting stuff ping.

Analysis of skeletal remains has led to at least two models to explain the origin of early human populations in the Americas. a, It was originally thought that the first colonizers were the direct ancestors of present-day Native Americans, who arrived from northeast Asia and possibly central Asia in three successive migrations about 12,000 years ago. b, More recent analyses of the craniofacial features of skulls dating from the end of the Ice Age suggest that the first arrivals were from south Asia or the Pacific Rim. These 'Palaeoamericans' were thought to be unrelated to the majority of modern Amerindian remains — a later group of colonizers from northeast Asia were thought to have given rise to these late-prehistoric populations. Now, González-José et al.5 have found that a group of early historic Amerindian skulls from the Baja peninsula in Mexico bear a strong resemblance to the early Palaeoamericans, suggesting that the colonization of the Americas was more complex than had previously been suspected.
