[QUOTE]Originally posted by Knowledgeiskey718: [QB] [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] [b]As she stressed "Groups like [...] Australo-Melanesians are all examples of relatively early diversifications without great amounts of gene flow from other groups..."[/b] (Lahr, 1996, p.335).
