Interesting article.. although the skull found seemed
to be similar to both aboriginal or negroid skulls, so
she could have come from Australasia or Africa(?).
Homo sapiens has been around for at some 100 000 years
(YMMV). That's an *awfully* long time for people to
migrate. So in a way, it shouldn't be surprising, it
should almost be expected.
