Three of the four main ancestral groups diverged from their Asian forbears at least 20,000 years ago. And even more striking, the first Americans didn't all come at once, but in at least three waves of migration. The fourth ancestral group had DNA tracings back to the Solutreans, people who lived in Ice Age France and Spain. Their progeny are linked by DNA to the modern Ojibwe Indians.

The idea that the first American tribes in America came across the Bering Straight from Asia has been the dominant theory for a very long time. But in recent years archaeologists have been pondering fragmentary evidence that towards the end of the last ice age Stone Age peoples from what is now Southern France reached and settled in North America. As the evidence seems to be persuasive the idea is becoming more accepted as it is the only way of explaining certain archaeological finds. I saw a good programme about this on the History Channel towards the end of last year.

There were a number of "peoples" who migrated over the Bering Strait in Alaska from Asia. Check out http://www.bradshawfoundation.org for cool show on this subject.
