If we entertain the premise that the age of the Mega-fuana and it’s races ended abruptly and today’s races started with the sons of the biblical Adam, what evidence is there to support such a postulate?
- In 1999, Peter Brown of the Department of Anthropology and Paleoanthropology at the University of New England evaluated three sites with early East Asian modern human skeletal remains (Liujiang, Liuzhou, Guangxi, China; Shandingdong Man of (but not Peking Man) Zhoukoudian’s Upper Cave; and Minatogawa in Okinawa) dated to between 10,175 and 33,200 years ago, and finds lack of support for the conventional designation of skeletons from this period as “Proto-Mongoloid”. He stated that “The colonisation of the Americas by 11 kyr indicates an earlier date for the appearance of distinctively East Asian features, however, the earliest unequivocal evidence for anatomically East Asian people on the Asian mainland remains at 7000 years BP.” He saw this as “possibility that migration across the Bering Strait went in two directions and the first morphological Mongoloids evolved in the Americas.”
- A report published in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology in January 2015 looked again at craniofacial variation focusing on differences between early and late Native Americans and explanations for these based on either skull morphology or molecular genetics. Arguments based on molecular genetics have in the main, according to the authors, accepted a single migration from Asia with a probable pause in Berengia, plus later bi-directional gene flow. Studies focusing on craniofacial morphology have argued that Paleoamerican remains have “been described as much closer to African and Australo-Melanesians populations than to the modern series of Native Americans”, suggesting two entries into the Americas, an early one occurring before a distinctive East Asian morphology developed (referred to in the paper as the “Two Components Model”. A third model, the “Recurrent Gene Flow” [RGF] model, attempts to reconcile the two, arguing that circumarctic gene flow after the initial migration could account for morphological changes. Noting that the original report on the Hoyo Negro skeleton supported the RGF model, the authors disagreed with the conclusion suggesting that the skull shape did not match those of modern Native Americans, arguing that the “skull falls into a subregion of the morphospace occupied by both Paleoamericans and some modern Native Americans.”[4][5] (Paloindian faces and skulls tend to be bigger with justing robust jaws. Also the musculo-skeletal structure is comparatively more robust. Such features may be conducive to dealing with a megafuana)

“The apologist approach to science plays well into all of the conspiracy theories and alternative facts that have swept the modern “Meme” based information society. Contributions to science requires years of disciplined study and hard work.”
That statement is pontification, however we are just debating the facts. These days the dispute among scholars continue in regard to how the morphology in the Americas changed.
