Gene Study Supports Single Main Migration Across Bering Strait

Hmmm, this is most interesting. You’re saying that the ojibwa are, by now, not “pure” genetic amerind DNA, 25% are european DNA ancestry(’X’). We do know that some of the amerinds came down the interior valleys of Canada as we see in the buffalo jumps/fossil evidence. They then were your ‘B’ types, yes?

And yet the A-C-D types worked their way down the coast all the way to south america. This may explain the unexpected finding of a 40,000 year old culture in chile. Of course that may be just a C14 carbon dating mistake, who knows? Then there’s the anomoly of the Kenniwick Man.

I’ve read/seen where europeans were actually in northern china, as seen in the fossil evidence. The dividing line between amerinds and polynesians was somewhere thru the middle of china. The original japanese culture, beyond the ainu, came from KOREA(the lesser of the 2 kingdoms then); this really makes the japanese “lose face” as they’ve always considered the koreans inferiors(my son just married a korean girl).

Then there were the samoans who colonized the hawaiian islands 800 years ago but over the centuries lost contact w/samoa and became isolated, until Captain Cook showed up(note the union jack on the Hawaiian State flag). There were about 500,000 of them then. European diseases wiped all the natives out, only 35,000 survived because of inter-breeding with the portugeuse(immunity). Then the Spanish Galleons from the Philipines to mexico sailed AROUND hawaii for 200+ years, north and south, using the prevailing currents, and never knew they were there....

Then there was Easter Island, another polynesian colonization, but over population wiped them almost completely out(malthusian doctrine)as only a few were left when the Dutch discovered it in 1879(right date?).

What’s the difference? WRITING. The 3 R’s were first invented in Iraq/thereabouts, but the hebrews really took to it; that gave them a leg up on historical knowledge passed down through the generations whereas all these other people passed away into dust. It’s only by these modern scientific methods(archeology, DNA, etc)that we even know they existed. Now you know why you went to school and learned readin/writin/rithmatic : you communicate with the future....

These immigrants had boats.

True.

[nw_arizona_granny]

Ping.

It supports the notion that the survivors come from the single stock. The other groups either did not intermingle and died out or they and their progeny were wiped out in the constant warfare that apparently characterized America before Columbus.

I learn something new every time I read one of these articles. Thank you!!!

All of the principal Archaeological systems are of the nature of religious tenets. It is how the “soft” sciences are done. Those who grew up with a theory will fight a new different one with their last breath. It is as if a theory is disproved then an archaeologist’s life is suddenly of no account. His discoveries and fame become dust.

[ThanhPhero]

The Eskimos are late arrivals and may not all have walked.

"Oppenheimer places X across the Bering Strait, not across the Atlantic."

Yup.

But, Dennis Sanford shows them coming across the Atlantic too.

Sounds like the prehistoric version of the Oklahoma landrush.

All very interesting, but how does it help as a guide to the future? As to being totally engrossed in the past, to me it’s akin to driving down the street in reverse, looking in your rear view mirror. Even our ancient INA-mother would be far more interested, yes fascinated, with what we her ASCENDENTS are doing, where we’re going with our intelligence, communication skills. So, it’s an interesting scientific DNA study but as our lord said : let the dead past bury its dead. Move on, there are bigger and better things coming in our future....

More likely the Jaredites.....

Well...I'm a catastrophist and I believe we'll all die in a asteroid impact, super-volcano eruption or a viral pandemic. So... (It's just a matter of when)

[fish hawk]

I guess you were there. How else can you know it all?

This article doesn’t mention the fact that some of the older fossilized remains, like the Kennewick man, do not match the “native American” lines. You would think that remains that were found in Washington state would be more likely to match those that came across a northern land bridge if it was the only path of migration.

Yes, the skeletons/skulls are so old we may never get DNA from them.

Vintage Skulls

Spirit Cave Man is the oldest mummy ever found in the Americas and is older than Kennewick Man. The Indians won't allow DNA testing and even want to destroy it by burying it.

The problem is that farther you go back to many Honkies and Brothers start showing up. People breed true but they also breed out, there is an urge in humans to expand the local gene pool, Eskimos, Abos and wife swapping for example.

I think that the next 20 years will be interesting.

Well this can’t be right. It contradicts Joe Smith’s novel!
