Question

http://www.pbs.org/saf/1406/segments/1406-4.htm

I have heritage that links to Native Americans, and Europeans. I just like how this little tid bit of history came out in the middle of the whole immigration firestorm.

Fitty - Show me a link to Kenuik Man, you got my intrest big time.

Answer 1

Actually....

The first Americans were not from Siberia (Asia)
some 11,000 years ago
but a race of people called Salutrians
from 20,000 years ago

Nothing too startling
except for the fact that the Salutrians are Europeans ...
from France no less.

The Salutrians (White Europeans)
Were The FIRST People In The Americas

Based on the Clovis Point spearhead (Native Americans)
a spearhead found in France at Salutrian excavations
are almost identical to the Clovis point spearhead
yet date from some 10,000 years earlier.

These Europeans, living in the last Ice Age,
needed only to hug the ice sheet
that covered the northern Atlantic
from around Virginia
to southern France
as they made their way across the Atlantic
in pursuit of food.

Geneticists corroborated this finding by saying
that a certain gene found only in Europeans and not Asians
has been found in Native Americans

The "Native Americans" (Injuns)
Are Descendents Of Europeans (Salutrians)
And The Asian Migrants (Eskimoes)
Which Arrived Some 10,000 - 16,000 Years Later

White Europeans Were The FIRST People In The Americas

Sort of throws it all on its head somewhat
doesn't it, ?

Answer 2

The Solutreans would have been here much earlier than Kennewick Man.
"Mystery of the First Americans," originally broadcast on February 15, 2000. The film documents the discovery and ensuing controversy over the Kennewick Man, a well-preserved, 9,000-year-old human skeleton found in Washington State in 1996. Archeologist Jim Chatters, the only scientist able to study the bones before federal authorities impounded them, tells how he put a face to Kennewick Man.
"America's Stone Age Explorers" originally broadcast November 9, 2004 was about pre-Clovis sites.

Answer 3

The decendants of Asians that came across the Alaskan land bridge during the last ice age, (about 15, 000 years ago?) certainly had established themselves in North America.
However since Europeans seem to like to wander, it wouldn't surprise me if some Europeans had made it here also.
I do not believe the DNA of "Indians" shows signs of whites from Europe though.
Its a pity that Native Americans refuse to allow Kenuik Man to be analyzed.

Watch the Journey of Man next time its on.

Answer 4

Probably East Asians from what they say of the land bridge from that area to somewhere around Alaska. They came over got lost and stayed. So, technically, they Immigrated like most people.
But, legally, during one of my time travels I went back in History before man and came here. So, I own America as I was here first, but, I let people stay because I am a good person. Heck, it would have been lonely being here by myself.

Answer 5

The first people were little gnome like creatures who lived mostly in caves, and only came out at night. They liked to play practical jokes on each other like tying a persons shoe laces together when the were sleeping. They were meat eaters, and used their small size to creep up on chipmunks and squirrels and stick roast 'em. Yes, the small bones found by archaeologists are not early homo-sapiens, but the remains of these 'little folk'. No-one knows why they vanish, but some believe they were able to be invisible, and are still around, mostly in Ireland now, where they are sometimes seen and have been named Leprechauns.

Answer 6

Paleo-Indians, I believe. They were the ones who crossed the Bering Strait into North America. From them the ancient civilizations and eventually the Native Americans we know came about.

Answer 7

Indians

Answer 8

Interesting I will have to look more into that.

I do know my family has been here longer than many--so I am claiming squatters rights. Take me to court. And if America was really free I would own it by now.

Answer 9

Believe it or not, it was a Japanese nomads tribe that found its way through China/Siberia/Alaska and eventually to the rest of the Americas.

Answer 10

the native Americans was here, we all know that. Columbus came over. his country would not sponsor the trip. so he applied with England, i believe. he named America after his cousin. Americas. so if any one wants to put claims it should be the native Americans, and the Italians.
