SALT LAKE CITY - (Business Wire) An international team of genetic scientists has discovered the ancestors of Native Americans had at least 15 unique maternal genetic lines, many more “founding mothers” than had been expected for the Paleo-Indians . .

Increasing skeletal evidence from the U.S.A., Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil strongly suggests that the first settlers in the Americas had a cranial morphology distinct from that displayed by most late and modern Native Americans . . . The increasing evidence that all late Pleistocene/early Holocene human groups from South America are characteristically non-Mongoloid has major implications for the colonization of the Americas . . .

Like other early American skeletons, the Kennewick remains exhibit a number of morphological features that are not found in modern populations. For all craniometric dimensions, the typicality probabilities of membership in modern populations were zero, indicating that Kennewick is unlike any of the reference samples used . . . The Kennewick skeleton can be excluded, on the basis of dental and cranial morphology, from recent American Indians. More importantly, it can be excluded (on the basis of typicality probabilities) from all late Holocene human groups. There are indications, however, that the Kennewick cranium is morphologically similar to Archaic populations from the northern Great Basin region
*, and to large Archaic populations in the eastern woodlands.

*Hello, Kennewick Man

Which, as EP can tell you, were descendants of the Red Paint People of Scandanavia.
Curiously, a certified Native American on a board I participate in recounted that a DNA study his people had been involved in put their ancestor back around 8000 BC in NorthWestern Europe/Lapland.
Now that the Woodhenge story is public, how much more evidence does there need to be ?
