Discovered in a cave in Oregon, fossil feces yielded DNA indicating these early residents were related to people living in Siberia and East Asia, according to a report in the online edition of the journal Science.

Indian poop..... yup, I had this forwarded from my dad's tribe, the Klamath Tribes. This poop, was located in a cave on previously ceded Klamath Lands in Southern Oregon.

Just remember that during the last ice age , the sea level was lower not only in the Alaska-Siberia area, but everywhere. One of my old prof's has a theory that we are not even at the tip of the iceberg as most settlements and migratory paths would be along or near seashores, area that are now underwater.

Maybe I should have gotten that underwater archeology degree after all.
