Hell, I can't stand Ed Conrad. What's your point?

Not really. I reject flawed methodology of any kind, Philip.

When someone can't spell incipient, his post seems insipient.

And WHAT does that have to do with North America, exactly? Your
logic is "A and B are similar, therefore A and C are connected."
One might suggest the similarities between A and B suggest a
connection between A and B, but not that it suggests a connection
between A, B, and a third culture a third of a world away.

Um, try again, Philip. You can only know about current genetic
groups. And modern Indians are so mixed, your theory falls apart
right off the bat.

So the Mormons aren't hyperdiffusionists? LOL!

Anyway, there's already far too much evidence for pre-Clovis
habitation for your theory to work.
