Professor Stephen Oppenheimers' worldwide DNA study indicates that five waves of immigrants came into the Americas and at least one wave were these Ainu types. Another wave were the people sharing the "X" gene with some Europeans.
You can pass a law saying that an apple is an orange, but it is still an apple.
Political correctness is, as always, making every effort to stifle the truth and continue revising history. The story of Kennewick Man, since the discovery of his bones along the Columbia River, should have academia outraged. At least that part of academia that's not preoccupied with celebrating 'diversity' or eradicating Christianity.
So let me get this straight... If ANY human remains are found, the tribes can claim them and no one will be allowed to investigate? Maybe the mafia will try to cozy up with the tribes to take advantage of this.

It looks like some Native Americans and political whores and elites are definitely afraid to let us follow truth wherever it may lead. Heaven forbid we discover something that could undermine current assumptions about ancient history in America.
Isn't That Jean Luc Picard? Have they been messing with the space-time continuum AGAIN?????
9,400 Year Old Spirit Cave Man, the oldest mummy ever found in the Americas.
True. But you can still convince most people it was an orange after you've destroyed the apple. That's what's happening here. This is a total perversion of science. McCain is a pandering idiot.
LOL... that's not Kennewick Man, that's Patrick Stewart, man!
10,500 Year Old Luzia, until recently, the oldest human skeleton found in the Americas, Brazil.
Hey~! Thats James Carville!
Can anyone explain to me how they can determine that the bones are 9300 years old, when carbin dating is only good to 6000 years.
Hey...I recognize that guy! He made sushi for me last week!
Hey, that guy's obviously my ancestor! I have a deep spiritual affinity with him.
OK, so where's my casino?
"*Skeletal remains of 169 people, split almost evenly between males and females, ranging from 6 to 70 years old. About 75 of the skeletons were relatively intact.
*90 intact human brains that include the oldest DNA samples in the World.
*Artifacts of wood, bone, and seed that were made into jewelry and tools, providing insight into the ancient peoples' lives.
*Tests showed the oldest skeletons were buried 8,100 years ago. The youngest was placed in the ground 6,900 years ago. "To put this into context," Doran said, "these people had already been dead for 3,000 or 4,000 years before the first stones were laid for the Egyptian pyramids!"
Jean Luc Picard? Is that you?
Where'd you hear that?
50,000 years is the accepted figure for Carbon 12/nitrogen-14 dating.
