Nine peoples expanded from Taiwan to SE Asia and the Pacific, each with their own tongue. <BR/><BR/>The research in this article validates the pervious work and has some interesting new insights.Carl Ottersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10201724383601669936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783974624740363841.post-50633857233453656332009-01-27T00:55:00.000-08:002009-01-27T00:55:00.000-08:00Actually the article doesn't say the comet never h...Actually the article doesn't say the comet never happened (see earlier article on nanodiamonds). There is no necessary contradiction between an asteroid hitting (explaining the nanodiamonds and some fire damage) and the probability of massive forest fires across the region thanks to a rapid warming period.
