Oldest Skeleton In New World Discovered
Death Metal Maniac writes "Dubbed Eva de Naharon, or Eve of Naharon, the female skeleton has been dated at 13,600 years old. If that age is accurate, the skeleton along with three others found in underwater caves along the Caribbean coast of the Yucatán Peninsula could provide new clues to how the Americas were first populated. The skeletons' skulls hint that the people may not be of northern Asian descent, which would contradict the dominant theory of New World settlement. 'The shape of the skulls has led us to believe that Eva and the others have more of an affinity with people from South Asia than North Asia,' González explained."
Imposible, as every one in florida knows the world is only 6000 years old
Underwater for so long! Is she okay?
The Earth *IS* only 6,000 years old. Give or take 4.54 billion years.
My sci-fi novel, Ghost Thief, is now available from Amazon.com.
So.... Within that margin of error, the earth may not have been created yet?

What would you be if you are atheist and not an evolutionist?
Given the body of scientific data to backup evolution theory, I believe the correct term would be "idiot".
"Dubbed Eva de Naharon..."
Huh?
"...or Eve of Naharon
Oh, ok, got it!
I was playing Civilization the other day, doing an earth simulation and I was playing as Japan. One of my first strategies was to research Astronomy so that I could build Galleons and go colonize the Americas before anyone else could. Having colonized all of the islands in southern Asia (and Australia) it was just obvious what I had to do next. Clearly the early south Asians were thinking along the exact same lines.
"We must research Astronomy so we can build galleons and colonize the Americas!"

"(grumble, grumble)...one day we'll harvest steam to power great engines and link our centers of distribution..."
"What are you talking about?"
"Nothing dear...just sharpening my spear..."

So the first people in the Americas were south asians i.e. Indians? So should we call them Indians or native americans?
