P.E. But none of the genetic claims you made earlier have been peer reviewed by professional geneticists. I have not seen any claims like this published in any serious professional genetics journal. But the find published today on the relationship between the Ainu of Japan and the First Americans is...

I am still waiting for the peer reviewed journal articles written by geneticists on the pretty fantastic claims made by PE on this subject. I have never seen them.

Mike, I was hoping some 'expert' would answer your question and if they do I will defer to their opinion since I don't claim any expertise in 14C dating. I have heard through the grapevine that the dating was done at Oxford and that only one of the samples gave that old date of 13,600 years which ha...

Minimalist,

I am researching your question and I hope to have a good answer in a day or two.

The blue eyes were painted on the wooden mask of course. The person herself did not have blue eyes. And the blue eyes on close inspection looks more grey-silver than blue.
