longnshort, This brings a lot of new knowledge to the world, if the scientific community will accept it, and delve further into it. A few years ago, I had read about remains in South America that were caucasoid, but there didn't seem to have been enough investigation at that time. Since the remains have been found, mostly, on the Pacific coast, it seems that they must have been well versed in ocean sailing. Now, my question is, where did they begin? They, probably, could not have come from Africa, or Asia, and that question has not yet been answered. It makes one think something that I have always felt was true, which is that there is a vast ocean of knowledge of the world's past that mankind has never known about. These findings may be just the tip of the iceberg. DNA investigation will be the only way we can know exactly of the history of these people. How caucasians got to North America is, evidently, still unknown, and what you sent me, doesn't seem to touch on that aspect. I have always thought that the word, "native", or "original" was not the correct term for American Indians. Those words would mean that those people originated in that region, and didn't come from somewhere else. Indiginous, aboriginal, or first known to written history, would be more accurate. Not all Indians are so against investigation of remains, even when they have mongoloid features, because they want to know the whole story of their past, other than just the oral traditions. There are different factions among the tribes, and one of them is those that make such a stink about remains, and are probably the ones that insisted on being called Native Americans . Most of the Indians that I have met at pow wows, are satisfied with the title of "Indians", and sometimes make jokes that Columbus didn't know where the hell he was. I believe that enough restitution has been given to the Indians, and also the Negroid people. All citizens should be considered Americans regardless of origin, and farther searching into the past can be beneficial for all people. To hell with political correct history! Let's get down to the truth, and search for it at every opportunity.
