One of the things I appreciate about the Western Hemisphere discoveries is that they are usually far less political in nature than Middle Eastern, African, Chinese and European discoveries. In the Eastern hemisphere, history is part of the political axe-grinding stone. In the Americas, there is some politics (voir: Kennewick man), but it is far more straightforward science. To the extent that there is ethnic pride, there is no overlaying religious or political theology that tries to manipulate the result.

Blue jade is really beautiful.

Could be headed that way though.

Vintage Skulls

"The oldest human remains found in the Americas were recently "discovered" in the storeroom of Mexico's National Museum of Anthropology. "

"Of additional significance is the shape of the skulls, which are described as long and narrow, very unlike those of modern Native Americans."
