[QUOTE]Originally posted by Knowledgeiskey718: [QB] Clyde how does your posting of craniometric differences between original OOA populations, explain away the facts below? Where does it refute it? [QUOTE]My source: "The traditional path across the Bering Strait is still the most plausible explanation for the entry of this non-Mongoloid population into the New World, [b]if we assume that it was present in Northern Asia at the end of the Pleistocene." And indeed, Japan's aborigines, of whom a few still live in Hokkaido and on the Kurile Islands, display some Australian traits, such as round eye sockets and abundant body hair.[/b] [/QUOTE] [QUOTE] From Mikes own source: [b]Lahr (1995)[/b] has reached a conclusion similar to ours when studying the cranial morphology of modern Fuegians. [b]She realized that the morphology of modern Indians of Tierra del Fuego could not be described as typical Mongoloid as well. Since she detected a close association between historic ****Fuegians and Polynesians**** she opted to interpret the cranial morphology of the former as generalized Mongoloid, at best. In her opinion this generalized Mongoloid morphology could be explained as a retention of characteristics of the first inhabitants of the Americas.[/b] [/QUOTE] [QUOTE] Froms Mikes own source: [b] As to the similarities with Africans, the best way to explain it in terms of historical connections, is to assume that the Asian ancestral population that gave rise to the Australians and to the first Americans had its ultimate origins in the African continent, as it is in fact the case with all modern humans [/b] (Stringer and Andrews, 1988; Stringer and McKie, 1996; Lahr, 1994, 1996), [b]***but which retained a very generalized morphology.***[/b] [b]In accordance with Lahr (1996), the Australians are in fact the contemporary aboriginal population that retained the most primitive morphology when compared to the first modern humans.[/b] As she stressed "Groups like [...] Australo-Melanesians are all examples of relatively early diversifications without great amounts of gene flow from other groups..." (Lahr, 1996, p.335). [/QUOTE] [QUOTE]My source: In this study, 74 human skulls dated between 11.0 and 3.0 kyr, recovered in seven different sites of Sabana de Bogotá, Colombia, were compared with the world cranial variation by different multivariate techniques: Principal Components Analysis, Multidimensional Scaling, and Cluster of Mahalanobis distance matrices. The Colombian skeletal remains were divided in two chronological subgroups: Paleocolombians (11.0-6.0 kyr) and Archaic Colombians (5.0-3.0 kyr). Both quantitative techniques generated convergent results: [b]****the Paleocolombians show remarkable similarities with Lagoa Santa and ****with modern Australo-Melanesians****[/b] . [b]Archaic Colombians exhibited the same morphological patterns and associations. [/b] [b]***These findings support our long-held proposition that the early American settlement may have involved ****two very distinct biological populations coming from Asia****.[/b] On the other hand, they suggest the possibility of late survivals of the Paleoamerican pattern not restricted to isolated or marginal areas, as previously thought.
