are native americans distanly related to ppl from india?????

Question

i think so beacause native americans are desended from ppl from asia and india is in asia. tell me what you think......

Answer 1

no way

Answer 2

Native people are not from Asia. This is popular scientific myth. There are two people on YA that will tell you different for sure and try and site some evidence as to this fact. However, I highly doubt they have researched the topic themselves. Many scholars, scientists, and common citizens today believe in this theory on blind faith. The land bridge theory, is just that a THEORY. If it could be proven they would no longer call it a theory. There is, in fact, more evidence to disprove the theory than there is in favor of it. For more information you can read the book "Red Earth White Lies", it has a strong scientific foundation.

As for the DNA - RNA "evidence": There is no way this can be accurate. Scientists are only begining to understand to the human genome. They are definately too far away from deciding the origins of everyone on Earth based upon it. There were two shows on the Discovery channel that perpetuated this myth however I think we will soon see others that show this is not true. I would look into it more. It doesn't even hold up to common sense.

Having said that. No matter what you believe consider this:
The Land Bridge Theory has not been proven. Until this is proven why not let Native people decide for themselves where they came from??? It is not anyone's place to tell Natives of their own origins.

I am a Native woman.
I can tell you from experience and education that this is a strong form of scientific racism that many choose to believe and support with weak science.

Answer 3

There are well over 500 tribes,each with thier own creation beliefs. Some tribes have acknowledged a historic connection with Mesopotamia. Further back all the continents were one and all four races were represented.
After the conitinents drifted there were large land masses still present that helped sea-faring tribes. Many things point to a lot of cross-pollination in the ancient world. We can't say for sure.

Answer 4

Stand in the mirror and take a good look, if you see something different other then the typical body parts you should schedule a meeting with your doctor. Besides physical traits we're all the same from the same Creator.
It's the book one reads that makes one think they are different. Shed the human form and one will see the Spirit.
Skin Color and Money are the only differences and those very differences are the root of all evil.

Answer 5

A B.Y.U. Professor did a study with Mitochondria D.N.A. and found they are descended from Asia. The Mormon Church excommunicated him for his efforts, The Book of Mormon teaches Native Americana's are Jewish.He was fired from the B.Y.U.

Answer 6

We're all distantly related and as soon as ppl realize that the sooner the world may become a more loving and peaceful place.

Answer 7

Possibly. One scientist actually discovered (through mRNA) that everyone on this planet is a descendent of one of seven women.

Answer 8

Yeah, you can make that connection. But some are real distant.

Answer 9

I don't know
