Homo americanus, an original American species

Paperback, 216 pages. ABSTRACT Skeletal remains of an archaic man were found in the Great Basin of the United States. Radiocarbon date is 3500 years. Distinguishing features include protruding brows unlike those of any other hominid species, archaic or modern. The skull is broad based and the posterior view differs from that of modern man. Presented are 18 photographs of skull parts, 7 photographs of body and extremity bones, and 69 photographs of paleolithic artifacts. The claim is well supported that this is a newly reported species, and it is given the name Homo americanus. It is proposed that this archaic species made and used the paleolithic artifacts found in huge numbers in the region. Appendixes I and II add parts of the author's books, Earliest Man of America in Oregon, U.S.A.; with photographs of paleolithic artifacts, and Originations of Life from Volcanoes and Petroleum. Some paleolithic tools are claimed to be 3-4 million years old. The author bases his theory of multiple originations of life on fundamentals of geology, physics, chemistry, biology, and observations of plants and animals. The presented archaic man found in North America provides additional support for that theory. CONSISTENT RECENT REPORT Amy Dansie, an anthropologist at the Nevada State Museum reported 10,000 hours studying 550 burials excavated prior to 1900 in the Great Basin in Nevada, including five over 9000 years old. She noted, "The 9,000 to 9,500-year-old Spirit Cave Man, Wizards Beach Man, and Kennewick Man share some distinctive traits not often found in later western Native Americans, but which may be a combination of traits of a pre-racial common ancestor of all modern humans, and the emerging proto-Indian."
