These "natives" as in newcoming descendants are exogenous/alien to most land area to this day (~95% of their human ancestors lived in Afro-Eurasia) https://t.co/2grVvUCZd4 "Terminal Pleistocene Alaskan genome reveals first founding population of Native Americans."

@ScottAdamsSays about all I can find (https://t.co/OLCD9ryyPa), which doesn't parse by bmi. however I got thinking while listening... it might be worth looking at native americans as well considering asian lineage (https://t.co/gDn0QZxvxf).
