I may be breaking a board rule here, but at the suggestion of a friend, I posted another copy up here where the "nicer people" reside. I'm sure I will be notified if I've done something wrong.

Nice little article from The Wall Street Journal.

New genetic evidence suggests people first settled the Americas in not one, but three waves of migration from Siberia, fleshing out the mysterious prehistory of the New World, scientists reported Wednesday in Nature.


Three groups of Siberians. No groups of Levantines. What does it all mean?

What does it mean? Well, it probably means that genetists like Keith Crandall, someone that actually knows something about this, wouldn't misuse a study like that to make any statement about other potential genetic sources of ancient immigration to the Americas. It shows there was multiple Asian genetic contributions to the population in America. That's all it does.

Good point. There is no documentation, in this study, to suggest that the first Jew to arrive on the American continent was actually named Irving.
