I have a whole bunch of images from Mexico particularly Olmec but significantly many others; and a modest number from Mesoamerica. I remember years ago when finding the Yucatan statuette on the right thinking that its African but not what you’d expect from the West coast of Africa. When first learning of hypothesized Siberian origins to many of the Paleo Indian tribes, I began to suspect that the Yucatan fellow could claim Siberian roots. For one thing, his degree of body fat is not what you’d expect from a tropical environment as those found in Africa. Now I’d say Altaian and to reflect on your related research, Seppo, from Lake Baikal? In any case, not too long after (or too long before – I forget which: but the pictures will contain the date in properties) I came upon the Inuit woman on the left carved in walrus tusk. There is no solid proof, nothing more than speculation and speculation alone that the Inuit woman and Yukatan man share the same origins. For one, their stature is both modest you could say short. Second, both have a high degree of body fat; the proportion one would expect evolved to support people who lived decamillenniums in the Far North and not more recent immigrants who might come from the south but have been “indigenous” only from 10,000 BC or so. The man’s bun is of the small, tight sort [b] I have seen in related populations with wiry hair who bind it on the top of their head by a band. The Inuit woman above has a band around her hair [a] of the type found worn by women indigenous to Greenland [c] as in the woman to the right. They have full facial features (nose, mouth) found in African populations. An adaptation to a cold environment would seem to be the very fleshy cheeks of all three individuals here. What about the language of those indigenous to Greenland as compared to those indigenous to Mesoamerican countries and is the genetic material if found common in Greenland and Mesoamerica common to indigenous people in the Lake Baikal region?, Paul Marc Washington, paleoneolithic@yahoo.com
