Skulls Hint at Asian Origin for American Indians
Catalina Island Oct. 3 Ralph Glidden archaeologist for the American Indian Heye Foundation says skull analysis of remains from the Channel Islands suggests Mongolian influence and an Asian origin for some American Indian peoples. He notes northern Channel Island inhabitants show Chumashan traits while southern groups are Shoshonean, with intermingling of Aztec and Peruvian white races. He believes further work may reveal more on aboriginal origins.
