Report: new genetic study supports small time frame single migration across the Bering land bridge.
This still doesn't explain how the skull of a 24th century StarFleet captain from France wound up dead in the Kenniwick River nine thousand years ago.
I know the Abbot will still hold a candle for the Hurons-as-displaced Templars theory, but then again he's holding an even larger candle for a BCS Bowl Bid for the Golden Dome, so take his theories with a grain of salt or two.

Picard? Closest he's come is a few misadventures on the holodeck.
And while I have read a little on the whole missing Templar fleet subject, I have a hard time seeing them making the West coast on early 14th century technology.

Posted by: The Abbot at November 27, 2007 04:48 PMWiki: "In April 2005, United States Senator John McCain introduced an amendment to NAGPRA which, in section 108, would change the definition of "Native American" from being that which "is indigenous to the United States" to "is or was indigenous to the United States."[4] By that definition, Kennewick Man would be Native American, whether or not any link to a contemporary tribe could be found."
Who knew McCain pandered to this stuff? The anti-science movement is growing and will represent another loss of American leadership in a field we previously dominated. See this interesting article from the American Enterprise Institute: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_hb3458/is_199809/ai_n8234372
Yet another reason why McCain is not my first choice BTW.
