Whaddya mean "no wholly mammouths"? We all know they just shave 'em and put 'em in the Packers' defensive line.

Euroasian" may be a correct defination. He is believed to have been closely related to the Ainu (presently living in Japan) who are believed to be descendents of the Jomon.(all of Asia) Kennewick Man had dental features like Europeans and unlike present day American Indians or most Orientals. Kennewick Man and those like him were in North America, at least, 3-4,000 thousand years before the present day American Indians showed up in the skeletal record. (REF: Ancient Encounters (Kennewick Man) by James C. Chatters)

Thanks again. Let me reciprocate by recommending a work by one of the great comparative and historical linguists of our time, Joseph H. Greenberg, "Indo-European and its nearest relatives," put out by Stanford Univ. Press a couple of years ago. Briefly, his thesis, which he backs up with intriguing and often brilliant examples, is that Indo-European (the language family that includes English, German, the Latin languages like French, Italian and Spanish, Russian and the Slavic languages, Irish and the Celtic languages, Armenian, Greek, Persian, Hindi and the other languages of North India) in turn belongs to a language "super-family" he calls "Eurasiatic." This proposed family would consist of, in addition to Indo-European, the Uralic languages (Hungarian, Finnish, Samoyed, etc.), Altaic (Turkish, Mongolian, the Siberian Tungusic languages, etc.), Chukotian (Chukchi, a isolated language spoken in extreme northeastern Siberia, and its related languages there), Nivkh or Gilyak (an extremely isolated language family spoken in the lower Amur Valley and parts of Sakhalin), Japanese, Korean, and *AINU*, and the (New World) Eskimo-Aleutian languages!!! (As a footnote, Greenberg's thesis is not an entirely original one, and he extensively acknowledges his indebtedness to other linguists who have investigated what Holgar Pedersen named the "Nostratic thesis" in the early 20th century---after Latin "nostrates"="our homeboys"---but in my opinion, Greenberg makes the best case for the thesis).

Now, can you beat that? :)

It's an alligator.

No, no, wait. It's all a conspiracy to damn our souls to evolutionist Hell. The critter really is a dinosaur, but even though no dinosaur remains have been found younger than 65 million years old and no human remains have been found older than a quarter million years old, the Indians know for a fact that humans lived around dinosaurs just like the documentary television series, The Flintstones, proves.

"Now, can you beat that? :)"

A little slow on the reply but, nope!

So were Spanish fishermen. It is known that Basques fished off the Grand Banks millenia ago (and still do so today).

However, I don't think Spain could be responsible for the "Indian" ethnic groups. Basques are very tall and are the tallest men in Europe (oddly enough, the women are among the shortest), have very coarse black hair, and are extremely fair-skinned. I don't think you could find much in common with the average Algonquin.

Wow...that's something I didnt know. :D Thanks! YOu remind me of the Karankawa Indians, who lived mainly along the Texas coast and were known to be VERY tall and made tremendous long bows from a native tree, later dubbed "bois d'arc" or as I knew it "bohdark". These bows, it was said, were equivalent in strength and range to the English longbow and the Karankawa came to be known as cannibals through Cabeza de Vaca's reports.

If the first Americans were from Europe, who was here that killed them? I suspect Indians.
