Caucasoids. They did not predate Native Americans. They WERE Native Americans. Their genetics were probably incorporated overtime, or wiped out by competing tribes.

I remember hearing of this a few years ago. A race of people predating native americans. If I recall they were called "INU" or something like that. I can't seem to find anything about it online though.

The Innu. They live in Canada. They do seem to be a part of one of the original grouping that came across, and have a unique culture and language set. They are different people than the Inuit, and live to the east of that range.

In doing research on the Rock Lake Pyramids (Wisconsin), there are a few legends abound which tell of people "with hair of fire" "eyes like ice" and pale skin. These were the ones responsible for building the structures in question, as well as constructing and working the copper minds in the Lake Superior area.

Celts?

Seems to me that the physical descriptions match with the first settlers on China.

Celts, vikings. When Colombus came to the East Coast, there were reports of blue-eyed Indians.

There are sites being dug up on the east coast of Canada that are Viking sites. The men would have taken local wives.

The Celts have legends about people who went across the sea to the West.

That being said. In tribal cultures, a group with predominantly recessive triaits (blue eyes, blond hair, or even more recessive red hair) if they were taken over the men, boys, old women and young children would be killed and the women taken as slaves. If the tribe taking them as slaves was a darker tribe, their children would in generally be darker skinned and eyes and hair. Their children mixing back into the same group would again be having children who are darker skinned and have darker hair.

The recessive trait would mostly disappear inoto the sea of dominant traits, to only pop up now and then when two descendants with the recessive traiits had a child that happen to get the trait from both parents.

The Australian Aboriginals oral history specifically says that there was a lighter skinned people there when they came to the continent.

Of course, their idea of lighter skinned might not be like a European light skin. Lighter than an Australian Aboriginie (without any european ancestors) is not too hard to achieve. Asians, Indo-Subcontinent, Arabs, would all be considered "white" compared to them.

ancient history is all but demolished..

there were cycle upon cycle of the rise and fall of civilizations as advanced as our own..

at least 5 in the past 500,000 yrs.


each time destroying itself BUT. .with an elite escaping the destruction and evolving further to "guide" the next round of "leftovers"...

all for the sole purpose of maintainign physical bodies in existence for souls to constantly reincarnate into and experience karma.. and eventually grow and elevate..

The mention of Innu people is relevant here.
They were associated with the Atikamek Indians, were their allies in fights with the Eskimo/ they still live in Quebec...
the Inuit are the Eskimo... they call themselves Inuit... that is kinda enemy to the atikamek...
And it seems the Inuit are of mongoloid type, M130 which doesnt place them in nei-group with the native americans

I recall seeing a documentary a few years back about an ancient caucasian skeleton found on the banks of the Colombus River in Washington State. Police first considered it was a homicide until a forensic scientist established the age of the skeleton.

Local American Indians heard of claims that the skeleton was European in origin. The tribe in that area claimed possession of the body back from the Police and declared it the skeleton of an ancestor. Those indians forbade any further scientific study of the skeleton.

I dispute that Caucasians in North America are ethnic ancestors of the American ancestors.

Vikings living in Greenland did not mix with local Inuit. More likely it is an indication that one could navigate ice free around the north of Canada in prehistoric times. That puts the cat amongst the pigeons for those who believe passionately that global warming.

I also reject that this has anything to do with white supremacists. Possibly white supremacists are trying to buy into the debate, but that does not make it anymore a race issue than does the fact some Indian tribes have attempted to suppress and prevent scientific investigation.

Your grasp of human nature is astounding.

Men, away from women for years at a time do not fraternize with local women. Certainly a group known for raping and pillaging would NEVER do that.

Yep. That would happen.

(oh, and as to inevitable racism commmentary to happen here.....I'll point out that there are men who will put their penises in tree knots, tail pipes, vacuums, chickens, dogs........)

But it didn't happen in Greenland so maybe your grasp of history is lacking ?

Also if anyone knows the actual name of the documentary that was shown on discovery about this it would be very helpful. If I get the name I can find a way to get it and watch it.

Sure. All the vikings that went to Greenland were gay or prefered polar bears.

mtDNA only tracks WOMEN.

Culturally, the viking cultures managed to maintain a cultural presence that continued.

To extend that to a GENETIC is illogical.

I suggest that you look into the y-haplogroup divergence of the local Greenland Inuit tribes, such as the Thule.

Women were taken in, the cultural preserved and the succeeding generations identified themselves as Vikings.

There would be no european mtDNA groups, because the vikings generally didn't take women with them. Therefore all the mtDNA would be for the local women.

I'd really like to understand how it is that someone can think that a continuos viking presence and settlement occured when only men came? Did you think that they continued their presence through mitosis?

Love it. Really. The racial bias of people is great.

These viking mummies they have X mtDNA which isn't found in Europe or Scandanivians in any significant quantity but is a well known founding Inuit/Americas haplogroup. But they have R1B Y haplogroup, showing European.

Its a MYSTERY.

Kumuk of Inuit
Kumuk of Caucasus
Kumuk of Egypt
Kumuk of East Turkestan
Kumuk of Africa
Kumuk of Inca

Etymologically , it is no brainer , really .

Err..... I am a bit hesitant to bring religion into the discussion, but don't the Mormons have Whites living in the America during the time of Jesus? They tell of Jesus coming to North America and discovering a group of whites living in sin. Jesus teaches them how to live right and thus Mormonism was born. (The Later Day Saints)

Not saying I believe it, but it does add an interesting twist.
