American Anthropology

"“We are trying to retrieve nuclear DNA from the site,” he added, which should provide more precise information about who are the “closest contemporary people” associated with the cave dwellers."

I read with interest, that linguists did suggest some decades ago, that American people came in more than one wave. Nevertheless American Anthropologist did not buy it. Now with genetic information to go with it, it is clearer, that there were probably three waves.

Also US Indians did not want to help, as much, as their brethren from other parts of North America.

I propose two hypotheses to explain both facts.

American anthropologists have been reluctant to acknowledge, basic aspects of the people that came before THEM. American Indians do not want facts, because some of them already benefit monetarily from Tribe Membership, and they do not want more stinking Indians to come collect their money.

There are not two different hypothesis actually, there is only one explanation:

Greed!
