Fifth, the idea of referring to a skeleton as being Caucasian in "race" is an oxymoron. Few, if any, reputable scientists today believe in the existence of physical "races" since all human beings are 98+% the same. The variations found among us are interesting but have to be studied at the individual trait level and at the geographical/regional level and not used as markers for a "race." The latter term is essentially a popular word which has been used for everything from Scottish clans ("the race of the MacDonalds"), to national groups ("the Irish race"), to large geographical populations ("the Americanoid or American race").

BLAINE: Numerous stelae in at least two different places in Meso America show ample evidence that there once lived in that area an entire race of people with Caucasion features and beards. How can you account for these, Kevin? They are there. Are you denying it? Your comments above sound like it.
The BoM gives a simple explanation for this phenomenon. You don't have to accept it, but I believe it is one which any reasonable person would consider worthy of investigation.
