Most anthropolgists agree that is a good chance that Native Americans pushed out and caused geneocide on other inhabiting peoples....does anyone have any information on this...or links

If there were people here before those we term "Native Americans" today, they were merely those people that showed up early. Humans commonly did not used to fight to kill each other off, people fought to protect their resources and means of survival. And there was likely enough space in this country in earlier times to house multiple populations of people all over, enough so that no genocide would have happened. And especially not the purposeful eradication of people that genocide is. There would be no reason for that, and all people knew as they know today that you need fresh genes brought into your people if you are to survive. So killing enemies was likely not as common as today. If anything, those that were here earlier probably just merged over time with those that came later. No peoples came here all at once.

No, I don't but I think your question is quite thought-provoking. I have never thought of the possibility that there were other inhabitants in America before the native Americans. This is a really interesting question. I hope I'll find some reasonable answers to this question.

There is some evidence, but it's all under intense debate right now. We're talking smears of charcoal that could be from a campfire, but may very well be from a wildfire. There are also some things that could be tools, or could be broken bits of rock. The critics say that the people who discovered this are looking too hard for evidence. Archaeology is by no means an exact science.
Now, if you're talking about pseudoscience arguments about Atlantis folk or Egyptians, that's another story.

Interesting theory. I have always heard that there was no human presence in the Americas prior to the Asians crossing the Bering Strait to become the first inhabitants that we now call "Native Americans", "American Indians" or, in Canada, "First Nation."

christian missionaries have been generally merciless and condescending. at suitable, they seen the indians as ignorant savages in desire of 'salvation'. of direction, rational human beings know that the indians had a deeply non secular connection to their environments and held a miles greater significant awareness than the missionaries who assimilated them.

It's human nature, so it's possible, but if so they did one hell of a job eliminating the evidence.
