Where did the Native Americans originally come from ?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

The popular belief is that Native Americans came from northeastern Asia via a land bridge where the Bering Straight now is between Alaska and Siberia during one of the ice ages. The first Americans were thought to have been the "Clovis" people but that popular belief is being called much more into question as evidence is found that may suggest other people came to America from possibly else where before the Clovis culture.

Answer 3

The prevaling consensus is that much of the world's water was frozen in gigantic ice sheets. The floor of the Bering Strait between Siberia and Alaska was exposed. Big-game hunters were able to walk to Alaska. They turned south, spreading out through the Great Plains and into what is now the American Southwest. Within a few thousand years, they had made it all the way to the tip of South America. If this is the case, they came from Asia.
However, no one knows where they originally came from and when for certain. There are other theories that contend that they arrived earlier, and from different places.

Answer 4

It is believed that Native Americans had migrated from Asia across the land bridge that existed between Russia and Alaska.

Answer 5

They are generally believed to have began to migrate into what is now Alaska from what is now Siberia across the Bering Straits during a period about 10,000 years ago when a land bridge existed there. From there they gradually followed migrating animals south and eventually found their way all the way to the very trip of South America. This theory is probably correct and is supported by archeological evidence such as the design of spearheads being identical in both Siberian sites and North american sites which carbon date to the same era.

Answer 6

Archaeological evidence reveals two main waves of migration.
The last wave is well known and is what the other answers are about. It was recently seen as the only wave of migration. New evidence shows that there was a large wave before this one which appears to be from France of all places! Evidence found in parts of France and North America dating back to the same time are identical in nature and specific to this one ethnic group in France (eg spear construction, use of buttons etc)

Answer 7

Our teachings tell us that we were put here on turtle Island by the Creator. I've never heard of any Great migration in our teachings.

Answer 8

Space.


nah, i'm joking.

Supposedly, they came from Asia. And the people from Asia came from Africa (as well as everyone else)


So, they come from Africa
