    Nope, modern Californians aren't descended from those dudes. Rosue G seems a lot more progressive than the Trump supporters on this site.
    It does knock conventional anthropology into a cocked hat, but I'll wait for the peer reviews before I buy it. There have been hoaxes before - remember the Piltdown Man?
