Study Of Ancient Skulls Suggest There May Have Been Multiple Migrations Into The Americas
Phys.org/news ^ | 2-23-2017

(Phys.org)—A trio of researchers affiliated with institutions in the U.S., Europe and South America has found evidence that suggests the native people of South America likely arrived from more than one place. In their paper published in the journal Science Advances, Noreen von Cramon-Taubadel, André Strauss and Mark Hubbe describe how they applied imaging technology to skulls that have been unearthed in Brazil and what was revealed.

For many years, it was believed that a single wave of ancient immigrants made their way from Asia to North America and eventually to South America—the first people to exist in the New World. But that view has been challenged in more recent years. In this new effort, the researchers describe evidence they have found that suggests the first settlers of the New World may have come from more than one place.

To learn more about the ancestry of some of the earliest settlers to South America, the researchers used geometric morphometrics, a type of imaging technology that allows for creating 3-D images of an object, to examine skulls found in Lagoa Santa, Brazil. Prior research had dated the skulls back 7,000 to 10,000 years, which places them near the time when scientists believe South America was first populated by humans. The researchers report that the skull shapes of the ancient people differed markedly from those of modern indigenous South Americans, suggesting they came from somewhere else.

Interestingly, Hubbe was part of another team that recently imaged skulls dug up in Mexico. That team found that 500 to 800-year-old skulls (which places them before the arrival of Europeans) from two of three distinct regions matched one another but not with the third—suggesting that the third came from elsewhere. They have published their findings in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology.

The latest DNA say they are all the same, same DNA.

I think they missed some DNA samples though.

I think there were MANY migrations from all over.

So how do they explain the sites in Central and South America that date to 40,000 years ago? Only a fool beholden to orthodoxy would believe there was a single wave of migration.

I saw on PBS there is evidence people from Europe using the southern edge of the ice sheet came to America too.

Do you have links on that? I've been studying this topic for 30 years and have never heard of authenticated sites that old.

What about the elongated skulls of Peru and Bolivia? They are said to lack the normal signs for human growth and for ritual deformation.

So guess what?

Our “Native Americans” stole the land from somebody else.

It is impossible to believe that over the eons, that there was one single migration.

Climate change, loss of food resources, and tribal tyranny forced humans to migrate, again, and again.

The Indians are Native Americans.

Native.

That means they started here.

Turns out their Eden is actually Two Dot, Montana.

That’s right between One Dot and Three Dot.

Here's one I posted 14 years ago:

Thanks for that. I think it possible. There’s little islands or atolls along the way they could hop. There may have been more at the time.
