Oh, she knows. She’s a doctor and participated in a rather large genetic study of “native americans.”

She looks like a dark Siberian to me, but hot.

Here’s the earlier topic, but the picture is better in this new one, so I’m going to ping it. Thanks nickcarraway.

Those genetic studies were pretty amazing. I saw a program on one that placed the ancestory of at least one of the major Navajo clans in a very specific region of Mongolia.

The tribal spritual leaders seemed to really like the story and felt that such a perilous, long-term journey (literally several generations) that ended up in the amazing area around Canyon de Chelly, from 1/2 way across the world, fit very well with their creation story. It certainly had to have methaphorically felt like emerging from a hole in the ground into paradise.

She is a dark, hot Siberian. Treat her well. I can’t imagine the fury of a scorned Apache woman...

BTW, those Clovis Mammoth hunters only have about 15,000 years on her, if the new data is correct. Wonder where they went...

Blacks, whites, and Asians have different ancestors and did not come from Africa according to Akhil Bakshi—a fellow of the prestigious Royal Geographic Society.

In a paper widely trumpeted and due for release in book form, Akhil Bakshi, the leader of a recent major scientific expedition supported by India’s prime minister, claims that “Negroid”, “Caucasian” and “Mongoloid” peoples are not only separate races but separate species, having evolved on different continents.

I would not have thought the bones could survive this long in water.

claims that “Negroid”, “Caucasian” and “Mongoloid” peoples are not only separate races but separate species, having evolved on different continents

How very politically incorrect! Actually, that's not too different from what was taught in Anthropology 1 at UC Berkeley in the 1950s.

...they believe the young man is at least 10,000 years old.

And here I always thought that "young" ended at about 20-30 years.
