Sadly this forum seems headed down the road of a few others I've seen-an endless back & forth argument between the same few narrow minded posters to the point where anything new is smothered in bile & invective.

Some appear to have been transported there in pre-Columbian times by ancient Austronesians moving east rather than west.
Just an outline but some real gems within-maybe I should have posted this in the science board-Mods move it if you think it fits better there

QuoteLee Olsen Wrote: Hmmm, so SA doesn't have any competent archaeologists? What does that tell you about the "and a few other sites."?
It tells us exactly nothing.
If you bothered to read the paper you'd see that at least six (6) Chileans and four (4) Brazilians were involved.

QuoteThree of the papers list Chatters as an author, but he does not sign on to the view that Kennewick Man came from somewhere far away.
“If he’s an eater of seals, he’s in the wrong position,” Chatters said. He said Kennewick Man is more than 100 miles from the nearest seal.
