"...and that Asia wasn't as genetically homogenous back then as people tend to assume." I came to that conclusion a couple years ago. The people that are presently in China are not the same people who were there as short as 6,000 years ago.
Looks like the Canadians are getting something correct. NAGRA ought to be on it's last leg in this country, but it's not.

In Ohio, within some of the Indian mounds, are the remnants of a race of people who were giants, avg. height of 7 ft or more, and they had twin rows of teeth.
For a time, beginning two centuries ago, some "grave robbers," so to speak, would dig into the mounds, and skulls and such were collected.
These artifacts were too fragile to survive exposure and all decomposed in short order. There are none remaining, except in some of the mounds that long ago were ordered OFF LIMITS.
So the story goes.

I think that there would be real legs on the matter if this was about 200 years ago, not thousands of years ago.

Oh, come on.
Throughout American history, the 'Indian Mounds' were the source of all kinds of weird ideas and theories, even from otherwise sensible folk. Sounds like you're propagating a couple of whoppers there.
Ol' Joe Smith had a few tall tales of his own along these lines. Those stories look particularly whacked in retrospect.

"In Ohio, within some of the Indian mounds, are the remnants of a race of people who were giants, avg. height of 7 ft or more, and they had twin rows of teeth." I've read about these. Once I discovered some photographs of some skulls of these people on the internet...It was in an Ohio museum somewhere, but I've been unable to relocated them. The tooth thing is called hypodentology, or something close to that.
Oh yeah, I think they were called Adena Skulls.

The Adena People" Adena folk were unusually tall and powerfully built; women over six feet tall and men approaching heights of seven feet have been discovered. It would seem that a band of strikingly different people of great presence and majesty had forced their way into the Ohio Valley from somewhere about 1000 B.C. - Robert Silverberg

I suppose you believe in the Cardiff Giant and in Joe Smith's golden plates, too...

Damn! This is major and it changes the "history" of mankind radically. However, I have a feeling that mainstream science will "bury" this information until it becomes impossible to ignore. I can also see how this has the potential to throw put even more doubt on the unproven theory of evolution.

I think actually, they were pre-Adena. The Adena brought with them some mound technology. My guess is that the old Indian folklore is correct, that there was a confederacy of what we now think of average-sized Indian peoples, who came together to "annihilate the abhorrent Ronnongwetowanca." I suspect there were a serious of battles in the war, that raged from west of the Mississippi on up the Ohio River Valley. The victors, mostly Adena, buried all the enemy in a series of mounds and fortress walls.
As the saying goes among some tribes, they attacked the enemy and "rubbed them out" (is the literal translation).
The link that I gave above, reminded me of reading up on the topic some time ago.
I became curious because there is a mound that is just three hundred yards from my front door. It is almost 50 ft in diameter and about twenty feet high.

"I became curious because there is a mound that is just three hundred yards from my front door. It is almost 50 ft in diameter and about twenty feet high." Can't say for sure what went on but, there are a lot of stories/myths...and, usually where there's smoke, there's fire. So...

Good one!
Buy anyway, it would be great if Europeans got here first, if for no other reason than to see the heads exploding all across academia.
