Eskimo and Mogolian

There is no comments on the links among the indians in South America, North America, Eskimo in North and Mongolian in Asia. I personally presume that perhaps indians in America has same origin of the Mongolian in Asia which has been mainly living in current area of Mongo Republic, Manchuria, Korea,

Political correctness instead of an honest look

It is extremely strange to me having an independent view how hell bent many are to support the Clovis theory. Too many with the mistaken thought of cultural pride, trying "too hard" to be cool, or afraid of being call racist defend Clovis for me to do anything but dismiss it.

I find it interesting that there is no mention of language which is a useful tool to trace origin. The simple fact some American Indian language are Sino-Tibetan and others are Austronesian suggests multiple sources of immigration. Physical appearance can also suggest origin. Archived drawings and pictures of East Coast Indians are much different than those from Alaska, the West Coast, and South America. Austronesian language group languages suggest that some of the early immigrants may have been mixed race like Polynesians with BLACK AND ASIAN heritage.These are inconvenient truths for the Clovis crowd they are quick to hide.

When skeletal remains were uncovered resembling Proto-Asians like Japan’s Aniu a few years ago in the Pacific Northwest, the speed they were removed from the hands of scientists was amazing. It is my suspicion should remains suggesting a Caucasian immigration by ancient Europeans be discovered, they will suffer a similar fate.

Provided there are ample resources, people have, and always mix well.

The theories about how was Pop ourcontinent.

The Clovis theory has been a sort of biblical tale, something people have to believe no matter what because was the first myth ever uttered and that has been an obstacle for the truth to shine, it is time to put the Bible tales to rest and build our evolutionary intellectual structure based in real facts fully supported by honest Science; I'm afraid that there is too mucho dishonest Science intertwined with Bible tales to prove that this mythical tales are true. That isn’t the objective of Science that doesn’t bore to deal with the supernatural, this is the realm of Religion.

We have to absolute separate Science from Religion, the object of Science is to model The Physical Reality and by no means to support the metaphysical reality, God should be found the same way we find Gravity for it to be a Scientific issue.

new discoveries

one researcher recently said that the only thing lacking in the preclovis arena along with the coprolites was a coherent set of tools to go with them. recently an indiana man and a surgeon from georgia have put together a huge set of tools that may be the artifacts that may match the dates of the oldest americans. the assemblage consists of levallois core tools, exhausted cores, levallois points, mousterian style hand axes, acheulean style choppers, cleavers,mousterian points,burins, backed blades,scrapers made on levallois blades and flakes, effigies similar to the venus figurines found in poland, birds, bears, bison, bison bone tools and ochres of yellow,red, and black. these tools are certainly not even similar to previously found paleo lithics from clovis or later periods. the finders are hoping that use wear and other analysis may possibly shed new light on the origin of the artifacts.unlike tools found at other alleged preclovis sites, where the tools themselves are in doubt,these tools are unambiguous in regard to the style. they are in pristine condition with what appears to be residue on some that may prove to be ancient blood or other organic material. time will tell, but these tools are without a doubt among the most interpretable lithics found to date in the americas that hold the possibility of being that "coherent" set of preclovis artifacts. who knows, maybe the tools of the american neandertal.
