This is not news. Scientists have known about the two migration waves for decades.

I think this is probably true for most of the native groups. But I think the Hopi came from another planet.

I figure it would have been two major migrations and an endless trickle.

What?? They didn’t come from Judea?

Some say the clovis people might have come from Europe:

Solutrean hypothesis
Main article: Solutrean hypothesis
The controversial Solutrean hypothesis proposed in 1999 by Smithsonian archaeologist Dennis Stanford and colleague Bruce Bradley (Stanford and Bradley 2002), suggests that the Clovis people could have inherited technology from the Solutrean people who lived in southern Europe 21,000-15,000 years ago, and who created the first Stone Age artwork in present-day southern France.[16] The link is suggested by the similarity in technology between the projectile points of the Solutreans and those of the Clovis people. Such a theory would require that the Solutreans crossed via the edge of the pack ice in the North Atlantic Ocean that then extended to the Atlantic coast of France. They could have done this using survival skills similar to those of the modern Inuit people. Supporters[who?] of this hypothesis suggest that stone tools found at Cactus Hill (an early American site in Virginia), are knapped in a style between Clovis and Solutrean.[citation needed] Other scholars such as Emerson F. Greenman and Remy Cottevieille-Giraudet have also suggested a Northern Atlantic point of entry, citing toolmaking similarities between Clovis and Solutrean-era artifacts.[citation needed]

And they were all “illegal” immigrants, ergo there should be no borders or immigration controls (especially for potential Democrat voters sneaking into America).

Aha, I was right.

There are no Native Americans - just an argument over when everybody got here.

[Red Badger]

I think they did, but were “wiped out” by a meteor strike in the late ice age............

Soul Train era ? What does Don Cornelius know about it ?

[Red Badger]

Nah, Samaria.............

Kinda like going to the bathroom when you're over fifty...........

[decimon]

...another traversed an open land corridor between two ice sheets to arrive directly into the region east of the Rocky Mountains.

From where?
