That's very interesting. Years ago I had a Maori mate, who told me a story about the Mori ori I think he called them, the little people. He insisted it was true, I thought he was pulling my leg.

All humans have a small percentage of Neanderthol in their DNA, and every blue eyed person originates from one early human. So, that would not surprise me.

Stop dragging your knuckles, and I'll tell you! [biggrin]

Every person carries the full range of genetic possibilities, including neanderthal, don't they? I certainly have neanderthal moments, according to the love of my life.

I really have to correct on that on a point of order, Aboriginal people are not, in fact, indigenous to this Nation. The dictionary describes indigenous as originating in a country. The Aboriginal population migrated from Africa, thru Asia, and over the land bridge when the seas were lower, somewhere around 60,000/70,000 years ago. They did not originate here. However they were here, when Cook arrived.

This is now a bone of contention Bob since it was discovered that the indigenous people of Australia where already here 60 to 70,000 yrs ago, it is now thought that if they did originate from Africa, they left a lot earlier than the rest, or did in fact come from somewhere other than Africa, Gondwanaland maybe??? and in fact were separated from what is now Africa???

I'm not saying you are wrong Bob, but could it be possible!!!
