I just ain't no aboriginal Murrican.

Actually, there are no aboriginal Americans, only "I got here before or after you did" Americans. This is something American Indians don't like to admit. Many groups do all they can to suppress any acknowledgement that their ancestors came over from Asia or elsewhere because their scheme for being special requires them to have been here from the creation of the world (ab-origin).

There was an interesting program, I think it was Discovery Network, which proposed that the current Native Americans were not the first homo-sapiens to arrive in this hemisphere. Some archeologists have uncovered evidence that there were groups which preceded them (I think from Polynesia), and which were gradually slaughtered by the newer (i.e., our current) "Native Americans." Remnants of this original group fled farther and farther south, and the scientists found their genetic descendants down in Tierra del Fuego.

If true, this puts a damper on the Politically Correct depiction of the kind, peace-loving, gentle Native American tribes being wiped out by the EVIL Europeans.

Your post #31 was really out in left field. Are you of the "Native American" persuasion? Or of the "Caucasian" persuasion?

I happen to be BOTH, and I can tell you that I am proud of both lines of ancestry; not only are they both noble, but the BOTH came from "common ancestors" -- Adam and Eve. And who (whom?) but you, is concerned with which direction they came from?
