LOL! From 2018. Dear author ed. If the people that ended up in the Americas got here by moving from someplace else (asia), they ain't NATIVE! And what's this talk of ice sheets and land bridges? I thought it's always been sunny and 76? But, that aside, in the overall span of time, yes things did move rapidly on this continent. I, for one, miss the days of Pangea.

P.S. Dear grrrrrreta. Thinking that SUVs and coal powered generators did NOT cause the noted ice sheets to retreat.

I don't know about the coal powered generators, but doesn't it make sense that those people had SUVs if they spread across the Americas so fast? Something pre- IH Scout or Range Rover at least?

It was a golden age. Nothing to do by hunt stupid big game and make babies for a couple of hundred years.

Not too off topic, it’s always been remarkable to me that N. American native people were STILL ‘stone age’ when Europeans arrived.

In Indians’ early interaction with Europeans, they had a dread fear of blades. It’s something that was clean unknown to them, since they did not work metal at all. They called Europeans the ‘long knife’.

Tribes were very primitive and warred constantly with one another. It took Europeans a long time to understand their cultures and tribal interactions... which ones got along and which ones didn’t, etc.

Native = people who were there first. By your definition Europeans aren’t native either.

If people with Australasian ancestry somehow entered the Americas before the early American Indians, how did they get into Brazil without leaving any trace in North America, either genetically or archaeologically?

Well, that's easy. Since so much water was tied up in North American ice, it exposed large areas of the Pacific and they island-hopped in their dugout canoes.

According to our/my DNA, my siblings and our descendants have zero Cherokee/Choctaw/???? ancestors.

Yet,genealogical documents show over 100 ancestors were Cherokee/Choctaw/???. The math genius in our family jokes that we would need a Cray computer to calculate our % of so called American Indian going back just a few generations. Yet, our current Ancestry.com DNA shows 0%.

Also we have documented DNA showing that I have 3 % African DNA, and a sibling has 2% of different neighboring African tribes. Her daughter supposedly has 2% of the same African tribes and her children have the same African DNA that I have.

The older and hopefully wiser I get, often makes me feel that many of our so called historians and scientists were BSers creating BS papers to get published and to keep their jobs.

-—yes things did move rapidly on this continent.——

When the constraints of the King of England were removed, the lower 48 states were all populated within 50 to 75 years. The density was not uniform and still isn’t, but there folks all over

these peoples—the ancestors of the Americas’ Indigenous groups—spread southward into new lands.

Evolutionists believe that man is an animal no different in kind from other animals.So the Indians stole the land from the original animals who were here.

It is no coincidence that an Eskimo, a Peruvian, a Chilean, a Jap, any other none Indian Asian, all Indian tribes members, all look a like.

Was your summary an attempt to get all the cliches out so we wouldn’t have to be bombarded by them further down in the thread?
