quote:The first humans to enter the New World may have started their journey in prehistoric Japan, according to a comparative analysis of skulls from early Americans and modern peoples.
This latest theory on the origins of the first Americans was published July 31 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by an international team of researchers led by C. Loring Brace of the University of Michigan’s Museum of Anthropology.
quote:The early American skulls — some up to 12,000 years old — most resemble the prehistoric Jomon people of Japan, Brace says. Statistically, he said, those Native American skulls (from along the U.S.-Canada border) are closer to the Jomon than to living Chinese, Mongols, Koreans, Japanese and Southeast Asians. |
