Using "google scholar" advanced search, for articles
published in "Pre-Columbiana", I got three hits, one
for an article by Mr. Guthrie. This compares to 5,710
hits for articles published in "American Journal of
Human Genetics". There is NO information, that I can
locate, about who "owns" or publishes this (in my
opinion) quasi-scientific journal - possibly some of
the people who have articles there or are promoting
it?
