To: Oklahoma

That humans came to the new world multiple times before the native Americans arrived 10-13K years ago isn’t the BIG QUESTION.

The big question is what wiped them out?

The even bigger question is, is it still around?...

To: null and void

could be weather events. Consider the NC/SC storm surge. Flooding in Texas, tornados, volcanos from NM to the Pacific.
Or could be virus: European settlers to the Americas caught Hemorragic fever. The Indians also suffered from it; some populations may have built some level of herd immunity over time and some not. Carried by varieties of mice/rats drawn to subsistence farms/homes. Or, maybe some other virus/carrier. T-rex?

and,
“the epidemic of 1576 which killed 45% of the entire population of Mexico”
