While you 2 are standing around trying to figure out which 2 
words I have said are mischaracterization, you should also 
realize the company you are keeping and the large numbers of 
individuals who respond with similar disbelief of your and other 
activities. While it may be true that you score a point every 
now and then, the overriding feature is that you reject science 
for myth when it contradicts your favorite myth. The insipient 
Jomon period is characterized now by cultural connections with 
the Amur river culture and other cultures of the region. It is 
called the Jomon, because, by far, Japan has done more 
archeaology and Japan has supported larger populations; however 
it has been posted elsewhere that Jomon, by no means, is limited 
to Japan and this is even more true with the protoJomon 
cultures. Given the obvious genetic connections between the 
Ainu, Koreans, Orochon and other groups with most native 
american groups, I don't think I need a diffusionist theory to 
explain native american cultural similarity. Its not considered 
diffusion when a group of people who a principle migrants to a 
region also bring their culture with them, unless you beleive 
that the original migrants to the New World had no culture. In 
which case you can join Larry amoung the group of people who 
next to nothing about paleoanthropology.
