Social Archaeology that is not real Archeology.

There is only one reason the NA's keep fighting this issue. If it is pr oven that some other race was here first they loose their claim to land they stole from those here before them. In other words it would negate their claim that Americans stole it from them.
or
Someone can't steal something you never owned.

This is the type of deeply dishonest "anthropological deconstruction" that drives many of us nuts: science perverted to serve a political agenda. These "scientists" want us to believe that even if the earliest people in America were from Europe or Japan or Malaysia, they should all now somehow be considered part of what is increasingly more apparent the last group who walked across the land bridge, the ancestors of today's "Native Americans." I am continually saddened that so many of my college classmates have become such shills for the politically correct, coercive Marxism that rules today's campuses.

When folks earn their Bachelors degree in Anthropology they are told that Antrhoplogy IS a science.
On the other hand, it is a "Liberal Arts" degree...

Gee, thanks. I'm going to spend the rest of the work day there. That is so cool.

"I went all through that list and did not see a haplogroup X." I just doubled-checked. It's there right after 'W' and before 'YAP'. The list is longer that what is in the window. Scroll it on down.

This has nothing directly to do with this thread, but I'm taking the opportunity to apprise you of a very interesting film. If you have a connection fast enough to watch streaming video, you'll like this:
Secrets of the Incas: War Against Time

Run time is a bit over 46 minutes.

This article should have explained the issues a bit.
From Jelderks ruling:
"The term "Native American" requires, at a minimum, a cultural relationship between remains or other cultural items and a present-day tribe, people, or culture indigenous to the United States. A thorough review of the 22,000-page administrative record does not reveal the existence of evidence from which that relationship may be established in this case."( BONNICHSEN et al vs. USDA et al)
Since there is no DNA evidence and there is no Cultural evidence that ties him to a current tribe, the finding of Native American cannot be made. This of course doesn't mean that he's not a biological ancestor.

Not applicable. The skeletons being found are related to neither modern Europeans or to modern American Indians.
There are all sorts of older populations of "modern humans" all over the world. The current law is rather "United States ethnocentric" in a most inappropriate way.

Look, the right of ownership by conquest is well grounded in the laws of all societies.
Besides, none of us were around at the time so we are not guilty, didn't eat anybody's ancestors, and are much more interested in moving ahead than pining for the old days doing our share of sword chopping.

Emishi ~ dressed as Samurai ~ these are the original Japanese, that is, the Jomon ~ check the beard.
The Ainu were inhabitants of the Asian mainland until historic times. They moved into Japan as the Emishi moved South to the more populated parts.

That film about the Incas was fascinating. They have a tragic history indeed.

The whole hassle is nuts. As I recall, the Kennewick Man was determined to be related to the AINU, a "Caucasian group o f people, now mainly located in Hokkaido. The "Spirit Cave" man also appears Caucasian. As far as the whacko "Anthros" go, breach cloth, moccasins - you want maybe Tux with Patent Leather? What in heck do you think people wore back then. JMO but the American Indians probably swiped the idea.

They live in a fantastic landscape. Films about the Andes are always visually rich. I hope to visit there one day.

Alas, the Ainu are NOT Caucasion. Never were.
Europeans and East Asians share a common origin. The East Asians, however, divided into two groups AFTER they separated from the European destined group.
One subgroup is ancestral to the Emishi, Ainu, and probably Kenniwick Man. The other subgroup is ancestral to the Chinese, Mongols, et al in the Far East.
