The mixture of first-wave and second-wave genetic signatures in some Native Americans today indicates that the newcomers and existing populations interbred.

Can we please not use the term Native American, especially when describing how they migrated here.

Pre-Columbian, hegemonic Occupiers.

The proper term is of course aboriginal.

But knowing their own migration paths and timing, even that can be sketchy to use. They aren't really "indigenous", just earliest arrivals.

And the use of the reference word for Amerigo Vespucci to describe them borders on hilarious.

I use the term "Native American" because the term "Indian" is wildly inaccurate, and there is no accurate term by which to call them. "Native American" is the best among poor choices.
