"The oldest human remains found in the Americas were recently "discovered" in the storeroom of Mexico's National Museum of Anthropology. Found in central Mexico in 1959, the five skulls were radiocarbon dated by a team of researchers from the United Kingdom and Mexico and found to be 13,000 years old. They pre-date the Clovis culture by a couple thousand years, adding to the growing evidence against the Clovis-first model for the first peopling of the Americas."
"Of additional significance is the shape of the skulls, which are described as long and narrow, very unlike those of modern Native Americans
Yes...that would be great. And what about Kennewick Man?
“Of additional significance is the shape of the skulls, which are described as long and narrow, very unlike those of modern Native Americans”
The problem I’ve always had with this statement is that it’s comparing peoples across many thousands of years.
Heck by that standard modern Europeans couldn’t be related to Cro-Magnon man because the morphology is different.
The shape of skulls doesn’t tell you whether someone is related to some else over thousands of years.
“Furthermore, the fact that the allele was absent in other Asian populations most likely meant that America’s ancestral founders had been isolated from the rest of Asia for thousands of years before they moved into the New World: that is, for a period of time that was long enough to allow the allele to originate in, and spread throughout, the isolated population.”
I’m gonna have to call BS.
How is it these learned men didn’t include the possibility of these *natives* being here (in America) all along?
You can find my DNA at the red cross. ;)
