If...and its a very small if...you have have a set of remains tested and proven to be of European origin...and older than 1000 years...then the Indians lose their desired status in America and in the media. There are likely Europeans that did make to America sometime between 1000 and 10000 years ago...in small numbers. They probably were overtaken or wiped eventually by growing numbers of 'Asian Indians'. There is a similiar problem with the recent idea that the Chinese may have actually sailed to America in 1424 and possibly left members on American soil as well. I see no problem in allowing a limited test on every remains we dig up...and then hand the remains back over to whichever Indian tribe wants them. What I do find funny...is that the dead guy (over 6,000 years) may have been a member of a particular tribe...and its another tribe who claims him. It may be this tribe who actually killed him in the first place. Its a goofy law that never should have been allowed.

Bwaahaahaaa...we wouldn't want science to find out that our current "Native Americans" murdered their predecessors. That would make them more evil than the European immigrants who DIDN'T murder ALL the existing tribes in America.

I've heard rumors of possible Chinese voyages to the West Coast too, there is even an alternate history book playing "what-if" they continued (or succeeded depending on the view) on their voyages and kept on coming. I think it is titled "1420" or something like that. There is even a group of people in Japan called the Anu who are descended from White stock too. There are a lot of mysteries out there that need to be examined and solved but there are some out there who are afraid to find out because of political correctness. I know the American Indians are said to be of Oriental stock, well if they can make it, why not prehistoric White or even Black explorers or migrations? I haven't heard of any prehistoric Black migrations to the America's yet, but perhaps they went another way from Africa to Australia where you have the Aborigines (sp?) and according to most sources, they've been there for 40,000 years or so. Myself, I often wonder if there have had been such voyages in prehistory or even some sort of civilization(s) that date before ours but have been wipe outfor whatever reason(s).
