GGG Ping.
Has any one ever done sea bed studies to see if that area actually connected despite the common sense view that it probably was....seems to me they could do some core studies to see if they could find human artifacts from about that era before the seas submerged that area.
But...but...I thought they were Native Americans, you mean they weren't from here originally?
Phoenician women?
This is interesting because my Wife insist Native Americans did NOT come from Asia and may well have been here all along.
A show on the History channel (Making of 10,000 BC) suggested 2 or more groups came here 13,500 years ago. One from Europe and another from Asia.
It’s just a easy for me to believe some groups may have come from the south.
More would have arrived if they came by a land bridge, IMHO.

The Indian dude from 20,000 years ago had 6 wives?
"The oldest human remains found in the Americas were recently "discovered" in the storeroom of Mexico's National Museum of Anthropology. Found in central Mexico in 1959, the five skulls were radiocarbon dated by a team of researchers from the United Kingdom and Mexico and found to be 13,000 years old. They pre-date the Clovis culture by a couple thousand years, adding to the growing evidence against the Clovis-first model for the first peopling of the Americas."
"Of additional significance is the shape of the skulls, which are described as long and narrow, very unlike those of modern Native Americans."
Great.....now I'm supposed to call them Native Beringians?
First, American Indian was replaced with Native American. African American is fashionable, despite the fact the CP in NAACP stands for Colored People. Congress still has the Black Caucus and there's still the United Negro College Fund.
How am I supposed to keep all my PC lingo straight?
Old TV talk show joke:
“Somewhere in this world, a woman gives birth to a baby every 60 seconds.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have to find that woman and stop her!”

The finding does not mean that only these six women gave rise to the migrants who crossed into North America from Asia in the initial populating of the continent, said study co-author Ugo Perego. The women lived between 18,000 and 21,000 years ago, though not necessarily at exactly the same time, he said... The six "founding mothers" apparently did not live in Asia because the DNA signatures they left behind aren't found there... That finding doesn't answer the bigger questions of where those women lived, or of how many people left Beringia to colonize the Americas, she said Thursday. The estimate for when the women lived is open to question because it's not clear whether the researchers properly accounted for differing mutation rates in mitochondrial DNA, she said. Further work could change the estimate, "possibly dramatically," she said.
Thanks for posting :)
