Calico: A 200,000-Year Old Site In The Americas?

[Map Kernow]

Shades of Kennewick Man, the archeological find in Washington State of apparently "Caucasian" (for lack of a better term) remains that were promptly stolen, damaged or destroyed by Federal officials under the Clinton Administration. Finds like this could lead to debates over who really are the "native" Americans and whose "land" America really is, or just maybe and more sensibly, could put a stop to such useless debates.

Out of Africa? No good.

Modern man evolved on Santa Catalina 200,000 years ago and migrated west across the Bering Land Bridge, ending up eventually in Africa. < /hypothesis mode>

Who Was First?

Did they find huge stores of kringle?

Only the ordinary walnut kind. The apple and the cheese varieties had all been consumed! LOL

[gnarledmaw]

Im not surprised. When I was a kid I found knapped arrowhead in Army Lake(?) that was of an advanced design and in a condition that Ive never seen the equal of. I wonder if theres anything else in that lake...

Kennewick Man

Look at that map!
Are they trying to say the Indians came from FRANCE?
Please, NO! Anywhere but France, home of the cheese-eating surrender monkeys!

Tried the "Who Was First" site---thanks for the link. Funny how it talks about how "some" people have claimed the reconstruction of Kennewick Man had "Eurasian" [sic!] features, as though whoever wrote the copy on the site couldn't bring himself (or herself) to write "European"!

[counterrevolutionary]

"It is a completely crazy and unsupported hypothesis," said Lawrence Guy Straus, a professor in the anthropology department at the University of New Mexico and an expert on the Upper Paleolithic period in Western Europe....

Straus also said the Stanford/Bradley theory has angered some American Indian groups whose ancestry has been tied to Asia, not Europe.

"It is basically saying they weren't here first," Straus said.

I have no idea whether this hypothesis is true or not, and the burden of proof is on those who claim it is.

But is Mr. Straus suggesting that the fact that some Indians don't like the theory has some bearing upon whether or not the theory is true?

Don't we have a couple of the very first inhabitants of South Carolina serving in the US Senate today?

Captain Picard?

More than likely the 'immigrant's would be from Scandinavia...The Vikings were tremendous explorers.

At least, that is what my best hunch would be.

bump for later.

"Euroasian" may be a correct defination. He is believed to have been closely related to the Ainu (presently living in Japan) who are believed to be descendents of the Jomon.(all of Asia) Kennewick Man had dental features like Europeans and unlike present day American Indians or most Orientals. Kennewick Man and those like him were in North America, at least, 3-4,000 thousand years before the present day American Indians showed up in the skeletal record. (REF: Ancient Encounters (Kennewick Man) by James C. Chatters)

Paging Captain Picard?

Exactly! Finds like this show threaten the victim status of American Indians and all this liberal nonsense about how the European white man is bad because he stole all their land. Whether this is true or not is not even the question because the leftists of the victimization industry don;t even want to debate their new god's existence - science. Totally hypocritical!

I think he's saying that it would be non-PC for any agency to provide money to research any other theory.
