"A professor I had in College (eons ago) postulated that humans could have walked over several times duing periods of ice advance and retreat when migration corridors would have been open, and could have been in North America as early as 32,000 years ago, no boats needed."

Professor Stephen Oppenheimer's Journey Of Mankind based on DNA studies places humans at Meadowcroft 25,000 years ago. They may have come across the Atlantic ice sheet and may be the source of the DNA haplogroup X present in northeast Indians.

I'm beginning to favor the 'Kelp Highway' idea for the west and South American incursions. There is a kelp forest offshore that stretches from to Japan to Chile and would have been an excellent source of food...(I used to dive for abalone in Northern California in the mid-60's.) Anyway, this would allow for an early entry and possibly explain the presence of old (Jomon/Ainu-like) skeletons that are unlike the modern Native Americans.

"The most intriguing aspect of the skull is that it is long and narrow and typically Caucasian in appearance….Modern-day native Americans, however, have short, wide skulls…"

Pardon, if I see seem shrill but you have a link for some evidence that Europeans were in America even 11,00 years ago? I don’t know how to break this to you, but Native Americans are basically Asians. They are not Caucasoids or Negroids, so what else is left?

We have this paper at work and I was ridiculing this article today. The wild leap of faith it takes to believe in this nonsense makes creationists look positively scholarly and scientific in comparison.

The estimated age of Lucy is 3.2 million years, whereas Leanne is 9,500 years old.

There is no link between these two distinct separate species of completely different times and places, except the desperation of evolutionists to make fantastic connections and get published and patted on the back by each other and grant granters.

Even if true, it’s probably a bad idea to tell some of those old boys that they’re, as Dennis Hopper memorably put it, “part eggplant”.

How can Lucy be 3.2 million years old when the earth is only 6000 years old?

I saw the headline and thought...I don’t believe it, there’s an ETHIOPIA in TEXAS?

Leanna looks like she was hot.

Lucy was like another monkey and may not have been in direct line with us anyways.

LOL. I thought the same. Now, there is an Alice, Texas to rival your Alice Springs.
