Hey look! They have 2 eyes in Siberia and two eyes in America!!
WOO_HOO!
[Sometimes there’s a real “gns” about this stuff...]

Thanks for today's first genuine laugh. It's an ironic laugh, though, when I realize people with power take this stuff seriously and divvy up money and special "rights" on that basis. I wonder if anyone's ever going to do a genetic study to find out who all those "indigenous" people displaced?
I think that was part of the stink about Kenniwick Man, the one the Indians wanted to bury and prevent scientists from studying. The preliminary findings were, I think, that his bone structure was very different than Indians and the dating suggested he might have been part of a group of earlier, racially distinct settlers who were wiped out by the current Indians.
This was the one that was fought in the courts for years ended finally when Clinton did a fait accomplait by ordering the Army Corps of Engineers to bury the site under thousands of tons of rubble.
Further proof that there is no such thing as a “Native American”. Even the Indians are immigrants to this land.
Scientists win Kennewick Man ruling
Also, see the 'Vintage Skulls' link in post #19 to further your understanding of prehistoric America.
John McCain has a provision contained in a bill that is presently in the house that would deny scientists the opportunity to study any bones in America, the bones would be given directly to the Indians regardless of any affiliation
Maybe the Mexicans? They're not bound by the (Good Intention) NAGPRA
Maybe the first Siberians are all from America...
Excellent point.
But let me see if I can get this straight on another level. Things are never as simple as they seem:
If we all came out of Africa, that indicates to me that all the overachievers left. Those with small IQs were left behind; therefore, the original natives our ancestors continue to live in loincloths or something and continue to use spears. Did they ever learn about the wheel?
I really think I am on to something.
If you know, what ever happened to the site Clinton had the ACOE bury?
That is the site where Kennewick Man was found. It's still buried.
James Taranto's column for the WSJ Online today has a funny headline involving "Kennewick Man."

Thanks Blam and Pharmboy. I'm about to do the Digest, and there have been a raft of these, including a similar one, so no ping. :') |
