Too bad for your little fantasy, there was NO "White" first wave. Craniometric studies on PaleoIndian remains have ONLY shown affinities to Asian, Pacific, & Native American populations. DNA studies on PaleoIndians matches them to modern Native Americans. DNA (& linguistic) studies on modern Native Americans say they've been here 20-40,000 yrs. Try reading scientific journal articles on the subject (special attention to Powell & Neves' "Cranifacial Morphology of the First Americans" which proved that prior & highly disputed claims of "Caucasoid" PaleoIndians were due entirely to suspiciously consistant OBSERVER ERROR on the part of a small handfull of White scientists, or the Powell & Neves study on Kennewick Man which conclusively found he was NOT Caucasoid, let alone Caucasian). BTW, if you're thinking of Ainu.... think again, they SOLIDLY match Asians in DNA & linguistic studies. SOME craniometric studies purport minor Caucasian affinities, but ALSO match them just as close to Melanesians & Polyesians & Australian Aborigines.

Interesting post, I read a craniometric article (wish I could find it again) that claimed that Kennewick did't fall into any modern category perhaps that was by Powell & Neves. There are a lot of claims being made by people who don't have the proper credentials. It's difficult for most people to recognize this. It would help if people who have some education in the field would post more.

The indians lost and the cowboys one. Indians are just a bunch of spoilsports.
