Good read. I think explains why the deflationary theory is wrong, at least for now. prudentbear.com Little joe

<<The people with the whitest skin in the human race are the Irish... -- It follows that these people are adapted to the coldest climate of any race. >> I thought the very white skin was the product of lots of time spent in pubs.

Eskimos recently always lived in the tundra about where the Cree (Na Dene) lived. They did not really live in the far, far island artic north. Since the second world war, they have been placed there by the DND to watch remote radar stations. They have also not been in the north for very long in anthropological terms. Perhaps as little as 6,000 years since the last ice age. The Eskimo were about on par with the Viking with whom they traded in the last millenia along the shores of Labrador. The Indian and Eskimo of North America may have originated in the Islands of Asia, such as Taiwan, and Japan. There are aboriginal people there to this day whose customs and language are much like North American natives. Easter Islanders, Tongans, and other Polynesians (Hawaiins) resemble North American aboriginals closely physically, as do the Sammi of Finland. The north of Canada is very very hot in the summer. The sun reflects off moss and tundra and makes it like an oven. It is difficult to work hard for very long afer May in the bushin Canada. Heat resistance would be a very good quality for long summer days north of 60. We simply do not know where the races of man did the most of their adaptive development, it is lost in the mists of time. We need to follow about 350,000 years of man's development by archaeology, whereas we cannot really differentiate race that well that far back. We are stuck on where modern man came from suddenly more than 30,000 years ago. It's as if we dropped in here from another planet. Never mind we have seawater in our veins andour bodies are ruled by a lunar clock. We have a hard time figuring how chickens started laying eggs. Which chicken layed the first egg, and what did they do before that? We are adapted that is all we know. How it happened is a mystery. The land did not change for us. We must have fit the land. If you watch an Indian solve a practical problem in construction or work, you will notice that they move very quickly physically to complete it, as if it were a race. They don't stop to think. I have seen this from one end of Canada to another. It is genetically imprinted. It as if it is instinctual action and the solution presents itself as a visual pattern that they follow. This may be a survival characteristic of migratory people who needed to make shelter quickly in cold climates. If you have ever tried to make the complicated pattern of a snowshoe lacing you would see that this kind of pattern thinking which I have seen Indians do easily, is not so easily learned. EC<:-}
