[quote=CHRISWAUGHBJ,230841]Well, I hadn't heard of the Salutrians before, but a quick google search shows up this: http://melrosemirror.media.mit.edu/servlet/pluto?state= 303034706167653030375765625061676530303269643030353131 333336 which, despite the MIT address, doesn't strike me as being particularly serious scholarship, and says nothing about the Salutrians arriving before the Asians. Then there's this: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20061010183008AAEkKcE which contains these statements: "The Salutrians (White Europeans) Were The FIRST People In The Americas" and "The "Native Americans" (Injuns) Are Descendents Of Europeans (Salutrians) And The Asian Migrants (Eskimoes) Which Arrived Some 10,000 - 16,000 Years Later White Europeans Were The FIRST People In The Americas" The discussion in that thread is also incredibly childish. These statements set some serious alarm bells going in my head. Why is the author so eager to prove the "White Europeans" were the first people in North America? A little further down the list of google results we have a link to STormfront, a self-described White Nationalist group. No, I'm not even going to open that one or post a link here, I'll have no part in promoting fascism. Anyway, suffice it to say I'm having a lot of trouble finding any solid, reliable information about these Salutrians. Maybe I should try Google Scholar? Maybe not, Google Scholar turns up no results. So I'm sorry, but I'm going to treat these claims about Salutrians with the same scepticism I treat Gavin Menzies. [/quote]
