[cherry]

IOWS.....they CAME to this country just like everybody else.......did they kill fish and deer to survive?

....put edible plants in the ground?.

..fight off bear and other malicious animals?.

....build protection from the weather?.

....burn wood for fuel?.

EVE!

The holder of this title is believed by some to have lived about 140,000 years ago in what is now Ethiopia, Kenya or Tanzania. The time she lived is calculated based on the molecular clock technique of correlating elapsed time with observed genetic drift.

Mitochondrial Eve is the most recent common ancestor of all human via the mitochondrial DNA pathway, not the unqualified MRCA of all humanity. All living humans can trace their ancestry back to the MRCA via at least one of their parents, but Mitochondrial Eve can only be reached via the maternal line. Therefore, she necessarily lived much longer ago than the MRCA of all humanity.

If she is everyone's great great Grandmother, many centuries removed, then we're all cousins and AFRICAN-Whatevers!!!

Blood-thirsty savages?

[An Old NCO]

This could explain the failure of Indian Tribal governments as well.

Brian Sykes, the author of "Seven Daughters Of Eve," now says that he should have had eight daughters.

The 9RA mutation probably occurred in an ancestral population located at the eastern edge of Siberia, which subsequently migrated over the Bering land bridge, Schroeder says (watch how the land bridge was gradually submerged as see levels rose).

[CholeraJoe]

But what about the red-haired, blue-eyed Indians who spoke Welsh?

Solutrian migration.

[Eva]

I'm not confident that our native American populations are any longer distinct from one another, at least not in the west. Due to the requirement that reservations maintain a certain size population to remain an official reservation, our local reservation takes in anyone with any type of Indian family history, including Mexican Indians.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

OK, blam, you caught me lost in the Journey of Mankind for maybe the 4th time...LOL! It's such a good site.

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

Plus, there has been a large amount of admixture with European and African descent populations.

[Eva]

The average percentage of native blood on the reservation is very small indeed. I suspect that is the reason for accepting Mexican Indians. I think that the percentage of native blood may be higher.
