Or more commonly called the "Casino Gene"
Personally, I think it was further back than he claims.
A recent show on TV indicated that a date of 20,000 years ago, using genetic factors was not unreasonable.
Lingusitics experts come up with figures older than that.
WE know that modern man reached Australia at least 40,000 years ago (Mungo Man).
I prefer the DNA study done by professor Stephen Oppenheimer. He places the first immigrants at Meadowcroft at 25,000 years ago. It is my opinion that these are the folks that are most closely related to Kennewick Man. The Obijawi(sp) Indians have the highest % of the the "X" halotype (European) gene than all others in this country. Here is an excellent map that shows this journey as created by Professor Oppenheimer:
Concentrating on Asian DNA is excluding all others..
It would seem to me that this would be only the first step in a more exhaustive study that would look at other sources..
It's true that land bridge led to an entirely new continent. But I imagine those travellers had to pay a heavy toll.
Interesting stuff. 70 adventurous folks 'go forth and multiply'
