Happy New Year, Piscean Sis, I'm so glad you enjoyed yours with your family in the back yard. This was our first New Year's without the boys ever, and we missed them so much! CW is in BeaverCreek skiing and Ammo had his own party to go to. We went to a beautiful black tie dinner in a friend's home, very wonderful people, (and not at all a drunken orgy). We danced and had Dom Perignon, and then Dan and I being the big partyers we are, excused ourselves, came home and went to bed. Our excuse was it was our anniversary, wink,wink. One of the books I gave CW for Christmas is The Wisdom of Bones-in search of human origin by Alan Walker, a noted paleoanthropologist. It's about the discovery of the "Nariokotome Boy" in Kenya in 1984- 1.5 million years old and the most complete example of homo erectus (also considered by many to be the "missing link"), yet found. Should be interesting.

I believe it is a mistake to identify those skeletal remains as Celtic or to assume they are descendents of European immigrants. The skeletons were found in a "non-Chinese" part of China - Xinjiang aka Sinkiang aka Chinese Turkestan. The native ethnic group are Turkish speaking Uygurs. I think the central Asian Turkish peoples are primarily "Caucasian" in physical type. Here is a link which has some information about physical characteristics: colorq.org Re. the red hair - it is found most frequently in northwest Europe today and it becomes less frequent as one goes away from there. But it is not altogether absent in western and central Asia. Perhaps, it was more common in ancient times.
