Grand Canyon tribe accepts ‘genetic piracy’ settlement

23rd April 2010

Read it.

A Native American tribe from the Grand Canyon has accepted a substantial settlement from an Arizona university after accusing its scientists of “genetic piracy”.

How magnanimous of them. (What is ‘genetic piracy’? Your guess is as good as mine. Making your Y-chromosome walk the plank?)

One subsequent research article suggested the Havasupai had originated in Asia, before crossing the Bering Sea and settling in the Grand Canyon.

That was a conclusion the Havasupai did not like as they believe they originated in the canyon and are closely spiritually connected to it.

Science gives way to myth, and the world is lessened thereby.

    They deemed themselves to have come from the canyon, so now that’s it.

    As long as they feel good about themselves….

    Not the Y chromosome! Don’t make the Y chromosome walk the plank!
