"Yet, to say it had orginated on the Asian side as it did (Sakhalin/Hokkaido/Korea area) does not say just what ethnicity in today's terms it represented, for it left nearly 40,000 years ago."

Those would be the Jomon/Ainu, European origins via Siberia.

"This was before (IMO) we had the Mongoloid race developed fully as it is today, and in any event those On The Boat would have looked more Caucasian to us, than Mongolian, and that is true of Lucia."

I agree with you on the appearance of those on 'the boat' except for Luzia. The North Chinese had not had their population explosion yet. (They would become The American Indians about 6,000 year ago). The American Indians displaced the Joman/Ainu (Kennewick Man) in North America."

"A year or so ago I wrote on a thread that I think Kennewick Man might have been an explorer, an early Viking or Lewis-&-Clark type."

There are a number of Kennewick Man's relatives out there (Skeletons), he's just the most famous.

I think Luzia (and her group) came across the Atlantic.

Look at the data. That reconstruction is Afro-friendly and in fact she was of the same race as the indians in north america and of whoever came to S America 39000 yrs ago and is still there.
