One of my friends, D.S.G., spotted this story, and I suspect that if you’re like me, you need an occasional bog or story that has nothing to do with the meltdown of our civilization at the hands of our “leadership”. This story does, however, have a civilizational, and historiographical, implication. Indeed, the latter, as I will suggest in today’s high octane speculation, is perhaps almost the exact opposite of the quackademic narrative being advanced – in my opinion with some desperation – in the article. Here’s the story:

Mysterious 6,000-year-old skeletons with never-before-seen DNA rewrites human history
Notice firstly that these skeletons and remains are a genetic one-off vis-a-vis the surrounding populations, and that whatever they represent, they represent an isolated population from the rest of Meso- and South America:
Archaeologists have uncovered 6,000-year-old skeletons in Colombia that belonged to a mysterious group of people that could rewrite human history.
The remains, discovered at the ancient preceramic site of Checua near Bogotá, were of hunter-gatherers whose DNA does not match that of any known Indigenous population in the region today.
Instead, their genetic signature reveals a distinct and now-extinct lineage that may have descended from the earliest humans to reach South America, one that diverged early and remained genetically isolated for thousands of years.
So far, so good, but now, enter the well-known Bering Strait land bridge hypothesis, that all of this population of ancient North and South Aamerica came by way of humans pressing across what was an old land-and-ice- bridge at the Bering Strait, and from there dispersing themselves slowly throughout the two continents, from north to south, over thousands of years, via the land bridge between North and South America that is the Panamanian isthmus:
‘This area is key to understanding how the Americas were populated,’ said Kim-Louise Krettek, lead author and a Ph.D. student at the Senckenberg Center for Human Evolution in Germany.
‘It was the land bridge between North and South America and the meeting point of three major cultural regions: Mesoamerica, Amazonia, and the Andes.’
The rest of the article then proceeds with some minutiae, all of which serves loosely to cast this whole discovery in terms of that land-bridge hypothesis, which is, as far as the population of North and South America goes, the favored narrative of modern quackademia. The problems posed by the remains are thus conveniently brushed under the rug, and ignored, but the problems may be highlighted by asking the following question: If the land-bridge hypothesis be true and the indigenous populations of North and South America are all descended from the same land-bridge-faring ancestors, then how did a population of completely unique genetic characteristics arise in the middle of the two continents, a population that bears no genetic resemblance to those which preceded or succeeded it?
