There is one skeleton found named, 'Stick Man,' that does not 'fit' anywhere with known living humans...Is it by morphology or by DNA ?
There was a skeleton found in Australia, whose DNA had been preserved because of the climate, which also had DNA unrelated to any living humans. I wonder if these two are related, and represent a line that died out.
Again, this might indicate the New World/Australian connection in population type.

Thanks for the Calico link. Using it is well worth the time for anyone who has an interest in farmfriend's ping list.

"Is it by morphology or by DNA ? " Morphology.
"There was a skeleton found in Australia, whose DNA had been preserved because of the climate, which also had DNA unrelated to any living humans. I wonder if these two are related, and represent a line that died out. "
That would be Mungo Man.

I think it was Ussher's calculations that place the world being only 6,000 years old. Hey... Aristotle was wrong about a lot of stuff... nevertheless, he was neither stupid nor badly educated, just ignorant.

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.

To be exact, he dated the Creation of Adam at 4004 BC. That is by no means the same thing as the age either of the Planet, nor of the various animals or plants or whatevers, including evolved humanoids not descended from Adam, even if some might be homo sapiens.
OTOH, Ussher was slightly off. We now know the true date for Adam's creation to be 3971 BC, the main dispute is between August 11, and mid-September, of that year.

Anu, head of the ancient pantheon, was the grandfather of Nin.Gish.Zida, who also was known by different names by different cultures as 'Thoth,' and more recently as 'Quetzlcoatl' in Meso-America -- the Pyramid Builder. Can you perhaps tell me how Thoth (now thought to have been pronounced "Tehuti") is a man with the head of an Ibis but Quetzalcoatl is a feathered serpent? Just in general, your post seems to commit too much fusion.
To: VadeRetro
No I can't, without re-reading Z. Sitchin's entire 'Earth Chronicles.' The Anu-Ainu connection may not be a connection, only a speculation. The fusion process, if you are referring to the different identities of the ancient pantheon members, lies in the mind of Sitchin who states that all of the pantheons of antiquity were comprised of the same family members, the Nefilim, whose mortality stretched from millinia to millinia -- those who compared one of their years to 3,600 of our years due to the long orbit of their planet around our sun.

I'm glad to hear that was his mind, not yours!

Yes, the concept is difficult to grasp, let alone accept. But interesting nonetheless.

"ainu" is the Ainu word for "man".

Ainu? Wonder if this is a contraction or form of 'Anu?'
DUDE PLZ english language allows only THAT much sounds and words to be made up, so we have to make names that sound a bit alike a lot. Dont go weird and claim there has to be a connection cause two names sound a little bit alike.

I'm beginning to think there was a time when there were more proto-Europeans in Asian than there were Asians.(as we know them today.)
That makes sense, when you consider the immediate effects of geocatastrophes (The Toba eruption comes to mind, although not the best example) would tend to be limited by mountain ranges and other geographic features, as would disease outbreaks.
We also have to escape from the limiting vice of attempting to approximate prehistoric climates based on today's climates.
While most understand this at higher latitudes, where the effects of glaciation/warming were more imminently obvious (there was a kilometer thick ice sheet where I am sitting now, just a 10-12,000 years ago--only an inch of snow now), the effects also shifted more temperate and tropical regions as well. They were not the same then, and have varied since, both in short (catastrophic) spurts, and in long termed trends.
It is entirely possible that what we regard as Asian populations today had either not migrated into the region yet or had been severely thinned out by any of a number of natural killers.
