Official Human Migration model seems to be at odds with Linguistics.

Ass leper, you're way out of your league here. Quit while you're behind.

Or what Sweet Tom? You wanna debate DNA? Please say yes.

Why are you guys at each other's throats? No one has a 100% verifiable claim concerning these migrations.

I have this theory that these people, the Ainu, were the ancestor of the Northwest coastal Indians. You will notice that the Northwest coastal Indians look more Caucasian than any other American Indian people; they are and have ways been a hairy people. Before the introduction of European DNA the Indians, other than the Northwest coastal tribes, had little body hair. The Ainu are something of a time capsule; they are a remnant of the last of a primitive Caucasian tribal people.



The Ainu are a mysterious people of the Far East. In the olden days they inhabited the Islands of Japan, Sakhalin, the Kuril Islands and the southern part of the Kamchatka Peninsula. When Russian path-breakers reached the easternmost part of Russia back in the 17th century, they were surprised to see that the natives looked like residents of the southern part of European Russia, like Persians, or Indians, or even Gypsies, in short, anyone but the Mongoloids. The Russian pioneers dubbed them Woolly Kuril people, while their self-designation was Ainu, which means “Man”.

DNA says the Ainu have nothing whatsoever to do with caucasians. Their DNA groups with the Black Andaman Islanders and SE Asians.

Ainu people - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

" Many early investigators proposed a Caucasian ancestry, although recent DNA tests have not shown any genetic similarity with modern Europeans."

"Genetic testing has shown them to belong mainly to Y-haplogroup D-M55.[50] Y-DNA haplogroup D2 is found frequently throughout theJapanese Archipelago including Okinawa. The only places outside of Japan in which Y-haplogroup D is common are Tibet and the Andaman Islands in the Indian Ocean."

The Internet is changing the way we look at networking, and it's changing language too.

For example, can we correlate (with proof) the vernacular use of the abbreviated term 'prof' (substituted for the full academic/English word 'professor') with the rise of Internet/smartphone text-messaging shorthand (i.e., 'LOL')?
