blue/purple tekhelet dye; like Israel, biblical snail makes a come-back     "Murex trunculus, a snail...   fringes...riband...   a mollusk that was over-harvested by Roman royalty, which adopted the color as its own.   It became a crime for Jews to wear garments dyed with the color or made in Luz, the ancient Israeli city identified with the manufacture of the fabric.   The Talmud mentions two Jews captured by the Romans for the crime of having 'items made in Luz', the Israeli city identified with the manufacture of tekhelet...   the commandment to wear tzitzit -- the ritual fringes worn on the 4-cornered prayer shawls...   Tekhelet was one of the few permanent dyes of the biblical era, made from a glandular secretion of the Murex snail called di-bromo-indi-rubin, which, after 5 to 10 minutes of exposure to air and sunlight, turns what's called 'biblical blue', say Jewish scholars." ...       Exodus/שמות/shemuth/names 35:6 and Exodus/שמות/shemuth/names 39:1 ...       Garments of Salvation ...       C.

"In 2017, [Steve Holen] and his colleagues analyzed bone smashing from 130K-year-old mastodon remains found at the Cerutti Mastodon site in San Diego [along the planned route of CA-54 which in 2022 runs from El Cajon at Forester Creek and I-8, where CA-54 is also called N 2nd St, then South & West to the mouth of the Sweetwater river which is between National City & Chula Vista, NE of Coronado Cays, SE of Coronado]. These came with abraded stone cobbles, and the bones are arranged in a somewhat orderly fashion. The site is hard to mistake for anything but human... The river cobbles found at this mastodon site were not near any river area... A uranium-thorium dating technique put the mastodon bones at 130K [115K-145K] years old, which, if it holds, would have humans here in the Upper PaleoLithic... It seems that the harder and deeper science peers, the older the firsts become." --- Craig Childs & Sarah Gilman 2018 _Atlas of a Lost World_ pg107

"[Dennis Stanford] was referromg to the 2 oldest human remains with archivable DNA, Naia the Yucatan girls and the Anzick Boy from Montana, both about 13K years old. Neither have European genes, at least not enough to say they carried any Solutrean stock. The only European signature in their ancestry is haplogroup X, a controversial genetic signal shared by a small percentage of both European and [AmerIndian] genomes. This haplogroup comes from about 30K years ago, probably early EurAsians around the Ural mountains or on the Russian plain. This appears to be the last time people said hello and good-bye to each other; one group drifted to the Americas, the other to Europe. [What David Reich & Eugenie Reich 2018 _Who We Are and How We Got Here: Ancient DNA & the New Science of the Human Past_ pp78-82 referred to as «Ancient North Eurasians» who split with some moving East & some moving West more than 15K years ago and noted «Europeans are more closely related to ⦅AmerIndians⦆ than they are to East Asians».]" --- Craig Childs & Sarah Gilman 2018 _Atlas of a Lost World_ pg139

"Genomic sequencing reveals that the ancestral group became largely isolated from Asian populations around 36K years ago, and fully so after 20K years ago. Some time between 17,500 years ago and 14,600 years ago -- remember this is a genetic clock based on assumptions about mutation rates -- this earliest [immigrant] American population split into 2 groups. The Northern Americans remained in the Northern regions of North America and included the ancestors of modern Athabaskans, such as the Chipewyan, Cree, and Ojibwa. The Southern Americans dispersed further South and diversified, and were ancestral to the Amerindians of Southern North America, Central, and South America. For archaeologists, the genetic dating couldn't be more important, as it provides a maximum age for the first arrival of people South of the North American ice sheets. If any of those claims for much earlier human activity in North America [or South America] are to be believed, they would need to derive from a very different source population that has not yet been sampled genetically, and represent a dispersal that was ultimately unsuccessful and donated no genes to subsequent [PalaeoAmerIndians].
The picture is complemented by the genetics of the first American dogs... who split from their Siberian [or Mongolian or...] ancestors somewhere between 17K and 13,600 years ago. As they were domesticated by humans and dispersed with them, this forms an important collaborative evidence. Genetic variation among [early immigrant] South Americans reveals that one the Northern part of the continent was reached, the dispersal split into 2 branches, one down the Pacific coast and one down the Atlantic...

Salitis/ Salatis/ Saites b: c. 1670BCE king of Hyksos c. 1650BCE (Alfred S. Bradford & Pamela M. Bradford 2001 _With Arrow, Sword, and Spear: An History of Warare in the Ancient World_ (8KBCE-500CE; 312 pages; ISBN 0275952592; Praeger) noted that the Hyksos were believed to be a combination of Amorites, Indo-European mercenaries, & Hebrews who conquered Northern Egypt with leadership of Apophis/ Apepi/ Ipepi, adopted Egyptian customs, language, clothing, ruled Egypt or 200 years (the 2nd intermediate period) between about 1786BCE & 1575BCE. Could these "Indo-European mercenaries" be a sub-group of the «Ancient North Eurasians»?
"To our surprise, we found that at mutations not shared with sub-Saharan Africans, Europeans are more closely related to Native Americans than they are to East Asians...   we found the same pattern in every Native American population we studied, including those we could prove had no European admixture.   The scenario of Native Americans and Europeans descending from a common population that split earlier from East Asians was also contradicted by the data.   Something was deeply wrong with the tree model of population relationships...   Three Population Test...   population mixture occurred in the ancestors of Northern Europeans...   the mixture evidence was strongest when one comparison population was Southern European, especially Sardinians, and the other was Native Americans...   What we had found was evidence that people in Northern Europe, such as the French, are descended from a mixture of populations, one of which shared more ancestry with present-day Native Americans than with any other population living today.
How could we understand the results of both the Three Population Test and the Four Population Test?   We proposed that more than 15K years ago [14K BCE], there was a population living in Northern Eurasia that was not the primary ancestral population of the present-day inhabitants of the region.   Some people from this population migrated East across Siberia and contributed to the population that crossed the Bering land bridge and gave rise to Native Americans.   Others migrated West and contributed to Europeans...
We called this proposed new population the «Ancient North Eurasians»...   Although they have not left unmixed descendants, the Ancient North Eurasians have in fact been extraordinarily successful.   If we put together all the genetic material that they have contributed to present-day populations, they account for literally hundreds of millions of genomes' worth of people.   All told, more than half [of] the world's population derives between 5% and 40% of their genomes from the Ancient North Eurasians...
The Mal'ta genome had its strongest genetic affinity to Europeans and Native Americans, and far less affinity to the Siberians who live in the region today -- just as we had predicted for the «ghost population» of the Ancient North Eurasians...   The analysis of the Mal'ta genome made it clear that Native Americans derive about a third of their ancestry from the Ancient North Eurasians, and the remainder from East Asians...   What [Eske Willerslev] and colleagues found went far beyond what we had been able to do by relying on only modern populations." --- David Reich & Eugenie Reich 2018 _Who We Are and How We Got Here: Ancient DNA & the New Science of the Human Past_ pp78-82
