GIANT INDIAN SKELETONS

     Tampa, Fla. (AP).- Giant Indians who roamed Florida swamps 500 years or more, living on shell foods which they cracked with their teeth, is a picture unfolded by archaeologists who have delved into a burial ground on a gulf island near here...

Giant Human Skeletons Discovered in  Indian River County, Florida
Smyrna Daily News Jan. 5, 1917   

    That the human beings were of enormous size is evidenced by the bones. It is thought that some of them locked in the deadly embrace of great animals, with strange weapons of bone clutched in skeleton hands a foot long....me were ten or twelve feet in height. Some excellent specimens of the skeleton of these gigantic men have been found,

Neanderthal Hybrid Skulls With European DNA Unearthed in Florida Mound

Neanderthal Hybrid Skulls With European DNA Unearthed in Florida Mound

   The skull unearthed at Waldo, Florida is identical to those found at the Windover, Florida site that were determined to have European DNA

Exploration of a mound near Waldo, Fla.:

The small narrow, retreating frontal, prominent parietal protuberances, rather protuberant occipital, which was not in the least compressed, the well defined supraciliary ridges, and the superior border of the orbits, presenting a quadrilateral outline, were also particularly noticed. 

   In opening a burial-mound at Cade’s Pond, a small body of water situated about two miles northeastward of Santa Fé Lake, Fla., the writer found two instances of cremation, in each of which the skull of the subject, which was unconsumed, was used as the depository of his ashes. The mound contained besides a large number of human burials, the bones being much decayed. With them were deposited a great number of vessels of pottery, many of which are painted in brilliant colors, chiefly red, yellow, and brown, and some of them ornamented with indented patterns, displaying not a little skill in the ceramic art, though they are reduced to fragments. The first of the skulls referred to was exhumed at a depth of 2½ feet. It rested on its apex (base uppermost), and was filled with fragments of half incinerated human bones, mingled with dark-colored dust, and the sand which invariably sifts into crania under such circumstances. Immediately beneath the skull lay the greater part of a human tibia, presenting the peculiar compression known as a platycnemism to the degree of affording a latitudinal index of .512; while beneath and surrounding it lay the fragments of a large number of human bones, probably constituting an entire individual. In the second instance of this peculiar mode in cremation, the cranium was discovered on nearly the opposite side of the mound, at a depth of 2 feet, and, like the former, resting on its apex. It was filled with a black mass—the residuum of burnt human bones mingled with sand. At three feet to the eastward lay the shaft of a flattened tibia, which presents the longitudinal index of .527. Both the skulls were free from all action of fire, and though subsequently crumbling to pieces on their removal, the writer had opportunity to observe their strong resemblance to the small, orthocephalic crania which he had exhumed from mounds in Michigan. The same resemblance was perceptible in the other cranium belonging to this mound. The small narrow, retreating frontal, prominent parietal protuberances, rather protuberant occipital, which was 
not in the least compressed, the well defined supraciliary ridges, and the superior border of the orbits, presenting a quadrilateral outline, were also particularly noticed. 

     The lower facial bones, including the maxillaries, were wanting. On consulting such works as are accessible to him, the writer finds no mention of any similar relics having been discovered in mounds in Florida, or elsewhere. For further particulars reference may be had to a paper on the subject read before the Saint Louis meeting of the American Association, August, 1878.

Windover, Florida Skeletons (5,000 B.C.) DNA Determined to Be European According to Dr. Jospeh Lorenze from the Coriell Institute of Medical Research

Windover, Florida Skeletons (5,000 B.C.) DNA Determined to Be European According to Dr. Jospeh Lorenze from the Coriell Institute of Medical Research

This Windover skull was the only one out of 168 to be photographed, because brain tissue was extracted.  Photos of the skulls were omitted from the archaeological reports because that are identical to those of the European Maritime Archaic (7,000 B.C. - 2,000 B.C).  Subsequently the DNA results were European.

    Anyone who watches shows like "Bones" knows that the first analysis of skeletal remains is the racial I.D and the age that can be determined from the skull shape, sutures and teeth. All of this information was omitted from the archaeological report at the Windover archaeological site, near Cape Canaveral, Florida that yielded 168 well preserved bog skeletons.  The archaeological investigation was headed by Glen H. Doran , former chair of the FSU Anthropology Department.  In 2002, five years after the project was finished, he publishes,  a 300 page report on the site, "Windover Multidisciplinary Investigations of an Early Archaic Florida Cemetery." In the report were pictures of all of the tools and fabrics found with the burials along with single photos of every tooth of all 168 people discovered at the site.  Hidden was the exact size of the individual skeletons.  We do know that they were "dramatically taller than historic Indians in that area." So, how tall is that? This isn't relevant to the conclusion? More strange was that there were no pictures of the skulls. 
     DNA studies were conducted on the skeletons, and this too was mired in vagueness that would make a seasoned politician proud.  Professor Doran wrote:  
     “Since the haplogroup frequency distribution of the prehistoric Windover population is unlike that of any known surviving or prehistoric group, they may represent the only demonstrated instance of the recent extinction of a group of Native Americans with no close surviving relatives.” 
   In other words, these are not Native American, even though he calls them that.  Keep in mind that the archaeologists have DNA samples from all known Indiana tribes, and yet, didn't match any of them. A lost tribe? Ancient Atlanteans? Well, if they're not Native Americans, then who could they be?
   Dr. Jospeh Lorenze from the Coriell Institute of Medical Research was doing the DNA study. Instead of giving up or using the archaeologists favorite phrase for subject matter that doesn't fit in their paradigm, "problematical," he dared to look at European DNA sequences and said:
    “I went back to the screen and I looked at the sequences again, the first person’s DNA it looked European. When I looked at the second one it looked European. When I looked at the third, fourth and fifth it was slightly different from the first two but they looked European.”
