All Chinese do not have the 'shovel-shaped' (Sindont) teeth (Christy Turner). The North Asians are descended from South East Asians (Oppenheimer) who have predominately Sundadont shaped teeth. The North Asians have the Sindont teeth, peculiar eye-lid, flatter faces and lighter skin
BTW, Kennewick Man has Sundadont shaped teeth like South East Asians.
For example, if the Celts arose from areas within present-day China, than some European-appearing North American 10,000 y/o remains (eg, Kennewick man) may have STILL come from Asia. What do you think?
There are 'hints' that the Picts may be descended from the Xiongnu people, the fierce tribes of the western steppes. They are one of the reasons the Chinese built the Great Wall. I believe there was a great drought in the western steppes that forced the people to migrate from that region.
IMO, those going east/south are today known as the Hakka and those going west are probably the Scythians/Picts.
Absolutely.
I'm thinking that many of us could trace our 'roots' to Sundaland. The Melanesians (Blacks) and the Australian Aboriginies have incidences of red-hair and the Libyians have the same incidence of red-hair as the Irish.
The most ancient people of Ireland are the Formorians. I've even read that some anthropologists think that the San Bushmen of Southern Africa may be the Leprechauns of Irish legend.
"The Fomorians were an ancient sea-faring race it is thought that they originally came from Northern Africa or Asia as they are described as having dark hair and dark skin in the original accounts. The name 'Fomor' literally means 'beneath the sea' from the Gaelic faoi-mhuir. Today scholars believe that 'Mor' means 'phantom' or 'spirit' and therefore proves that the Fomorians were considered to be Gods with magical powers."
I guess I've made a mess of your wine thread, sorry.
No no...not at all. I'm a beer and whiskey man myself, so this was always about paleoethnography for me.

Yup. Sundaland was an excellent place to live during the 120,000 year Ice Age. Modern Humans would have thrived in this tropical paradise while the Neanderthals slugged it out in ice covered Europe. An excellent book on this subject is Eden In The East.
"In an exhaustively researched and creatively argued reassessment of mankind's origins, British physician Oppenheimer, an expert in tropical pediatrics, contends that the now-submerged area of Southeast Asia was the cradle of ancient civilization. From time to time, scholars from various disciplines have argued for the existence of a vastly old ``founder civilization.'' Among the most famous was Charles Hapgood, who based his theory of a lost seafaring civilization on his analysis of the famous 16th-century ``Piri Re'is'' maps of the Antarctic land mass. In this tradition, Oppenheimer blends evidence from geology, genetics, linguistics, archaeology, and anthropology to argue persuasively that such a civilization existed on a submerged land mass in Southeast Asia, which geologists call the Sunda shelf. Pointing to geological evidence for the submersion of the shelf by abrupt rises in the sea level about 8,000 years ago, Oppenheimer contends that the coastal cultures of Southeast Asia were drowned by a great flood, reflected in flood mythologies scattered from the ancient Middle East (such as the biblical story of Noah) to Australia and the Americas. According to the author, tantalizing archaeological evidence exists of settlements under a ``silt curtain'' left by the sea floods in drowned coastal regions from Southeast Asia to the Middle East, while linguistic markers indicate that languages spread from Southeast Asia to Australia and the Pacific. The shared flood story is one striking example of similar Eurasian myths according to the author; the ancient Middle East and Asia share other myth typologies, conspicuously including creation and Cain and Abel myths, which point to common origins in a progenitor culture. Absorbing, meticulously researched, limpidly written, and authoritative: should be regarded as a groundbreaking study of the remote past of Southeast Asia, and of civilization itself."
I think Sundaland is Atlantis...the timing is about right too from Plato's account.
And I can't roll my Rs no matter how much I try!
I haven't had much time to study one language in this second case Japanese; but I heard intonations that to me, sounded a bit more like, for lack of a better example; a bird call to me.
I'd be careful to read more into what maybe someone has said.
I do have some experience studying these foreign languages. I'd hope with what you said, you would too.
I think, they figured the Celts were involved in these mummy cases when they found that the wrapping was of tartan cloth!
BTTT
What we need to do is find the first piemakers, not the first noodlemakers.
The languages that used "Bo" are extinct.
There's some confusion about the origins of the Celts and the Gaelic speaking peoples. Obviously the Celtic culture originated in an arc from Central Europe North of the Alps to Central Asia ~ that is North of the Black Sea.
The languages, though, spread further. Tocharian is an Indo-European language, and is closely related to Gaelic. These guys may have established trading posts in Japan several thousand years ago (to collect dead, wild silk worm bolls). The Chinese have recently been digging up some of their graves.
I want some.
"It's not that we want to put on helmets with horns"
Wh...well why not??!!
I like mine, and wear it all the time, except during electrical storms, and when I don't have my pillow with the horn-holes in it.
Yup. Here's one example.
Ancient European Remains Discovered In Qinghai (China)
"Ren said the tomb shape, the burial articles and the way they were put in the tomb are all typical in Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220), which proved the three westerners had lived here for a long time and were accustomed to local traditions and customs."
"Although so far, we have been not sure of the country the three Europeans came from and there might be a large number of such 'westerners' living here at the ancient time," said Ren."
Good question--LOL!
