It would be interesting to know if the Kennewick Man is related to the europeans.

I have a bachelors degree in anthro...I find it fascinating that there was substantial skeletal material at all of remains that old in the Lake Jackson area. The Gulf Coast is not known for its preservation qualities, and to find any evidence of the former Karankawa occupation is a treasure indeed. How neat that older remains were found!!
If you have an anthro/archaeo ping list, please put me on it.

I lived in the area for 20 years. If I remember correctly there is a high pH (a lot of limestone areas drain from the North into the region), unlike where I'm presently living which has a pH of around 4.

So I do a search for "Jaredite" on Google and I get a thousand hits. Is there a short version of their history?
To: blam
Yes, they were known to be VERY tall. They used bear grease to fend off the mosquitos, and gained an unfounded reputation for being cannibals. The only report of that was from Cabeza de Vaca and Coronado who encountered them, but cannibalism is one of those things that can be very controversial.

"It would be interesting to know if the Kennewick Man is related to the europeans." Kennewick Man was/is predominately Ainu.

Basque is the only non Indo-European language in Europe. (Spain/France)

"...but cannibalism is one of those things that can be very controversial." Yup. Just ask Christy Turner at Arizona State University (ASU)

That is highly debated, and in part would just substitute one question for another, for who are the Ainu, genetically, and where did THEY come from?
Basque, while fascinatingly similar to some American Indian tongues (esp Shoshone and those of Wyo/Ida region)...is not quite the ONLY language in Europe that is non-IU.
Hungarian, Finnish, Albanian, and of course the tongues of the Caucasus itself such as Armenian, Georgian, etc. would come to mind...Lapps of Norway? Lithuanian, Lettish?

The oldest dated skeleton ever found in the Americas (Brazil) is Luzia, at 10,500 year oldHuh. I thought it was Helen Thomas.
