Study by 72 researchers from eight countries concludes that the Lagoa Santa people are descendants of Clovis culture migrants from North America. Distinctly African features attributed to Luzia were wrong.




The history of the peopling of the Americas has just been interpreted afresh. The largest and most comprehensive study ever conducted on the basis of fossil DNA extracted from ancient human remains found on the continent has confirmed the existence of a single ancestral population for all Amerindian ethnic groups, past and present.

So it was a single migration instead of a continuous flow over the Bering land bridge?

The new study also reveals that once they had settled in North America the descendants of this ancestral migratory flow diversified into two lineages some 16,000 years ago.

The members of one lineage crossed the Isthmus of Panama and peopled South America in three distinct consecutive waves.

The first wave occurred between 15,000 and 11,000 years ago. The second took place at most 9,000 years ago. There are fossil DNA records from both migrations throughout South America. The third wave is much more recent but its influence is limited as it occurred 4,200 years ago. Its members settled in the Central Andes.





You know, they might try to tell us next that the Egyptian pyramids are't the oldest ...oh wait...

Its crazy to think about how young we are as a species. 15,000 years is really nothing, but we've somehow managed to go from just beginning to populate the planet to completely dominating the planet, bending the environment to our will, and reaching out to the stars in a relatively short period of time.

Its a Google click away, I'm trying to curb my ambitiousness for acceptance.

I suggest you proceed . :)

I just hope our rivals and competitors growing up in other star systems dick around as much as serve as their own worst enemies as much as we do. If one of them gets their shite together before we manage to, it's going to suck to be us.

New evidence points to the emergence of modern humans in Africa more than 300,000 years ago. While that's certainly a short period compared to the 6.7 million years since the first of our line, Sahelanthropus tchadensis began to walk upright, it's still been plenty of time for us to develop into the world-dominating species we've become.

We can attribute to technology, I think, our steady march to sentience. It may be the reason our race caused the extinction of the other races, H. neandertalensis, H. denisova and another unknown race whose genes are prominent in some groups of living humans.

Hey! So Liz Warren being kin to 1/1024th of some South American Indian is the same as being kin to one of ours!
