Way Too Many Americans

Which first Americans would those be? There's been a lot of debate and discussion about who was actually here first...The traditional belief that so-called Native Americans are descended from people of North East Asia who migrated here across the Bering land bridge during the ice age has been challenged by more recent findings...
Quote:A study of skulls excavated from the tip of Baja California in Mexico suggests that the first Americans may not have been the ancestors of today's Amerindians, but another people who came from Southeast Asia and the southern Pacific area.

Quote:Controversy erupted after skeletal remains were found in Kennewick, Washington, in 1996. This skeleton, estimated to be 9,000 years old, had a long cranium and narrow face—features typical of people from Europe, the Near East or India—rather than the wide cheekbones and rounder skull of an American Indian.

A coalition of Indian tribes, however, said that if Kennewick Man was 9,000 years old, he must be their ancestor, no matter what he looked like. Invoking a U.S. federal law that provides for the return of Native American remains to their living descendants, the tribes demanded a halt to all scientific study and the immediate return of the skeleton for burial in a secret location.
Looks like today's American Indians are trying to hide some scientific evidence that would disprove their claim that Kennewick Man was their ancestor....

Yeah, so...there's nothing sinful in taking care of our own poor and hungry and asking others to bear the responsibility of looking after theirs...

Now there is an unfortunate typo!
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
