    Thanks Derek, Paul for your insights, it did help!

    I am not so much alluding to other more controversial theories about the origin of South- American man, but like I said the guy I talked to made my head spin and I began to wonder...off.

    But looking at the guy as the biological entity he is, there isn 't much Chinese about him though. But rest assured I understand the problematic of the Y- lineage, so I do suspect he has some Chinese bits running thru' his vains.

    What makes my clock tick by the way is the change the original people suffered over the eons of time. What made them South- Indian if their origin is Chinese !?

    Was it inter- breeding !? Or was the Clovis not so much Chinese as I suspect they were !? Northen China indicates Nepal, Southern Rusland, Mongolia !?

    Can you answer that for me please Derek !?

    Do you have a surname of Padilla, I searched the web last night but the only thing I found was several sites about a criminal....not the same guy I hope !?

    Thanks, Regards,

    Kenneth
