People said that the natives in the US migrated from Asia. Is this supported by facts.?

Question

Do the majority of scholars or scientiest agree with this? Where did the natives come from actually?

Answer 1

It is surmised that the original natives came from Asia before all the land masses totally broke apart. I'm not sure it has been proved fact. I'm sorry if I don't believe 100% what most scientist say. Global warming is a fraud, and they all say it's true.

Answer 2

It is pretty well established by genetics and blood group studies that all or almost all native Americans came from Asia. A large migration came during the last ice age walking over what is now the Bering Strait, since with so much of the world's water locked up in ice ocean levels were much lower and that area was dry land.
Many uncertainties exist however about the details of the timing of various migration, the routes taken and whether at some people migrated from Europe through the arctic to North America in prehistorical times.

Answer 3

Yes, but .... while there is abundant evidence to support that Native American Indians immigrated from Asia, DNA, body structure analysis, weapons, etc.

What is perhaps even more interesting, is that this is NOT entirely true. Archaeologists are now finding that the oldest half-dozen skeletons every found in North America all have Caucasian features and bone structure. This includes Kennewick man, the skeleton found along the Columbia River in Washington. This skeleton was the subject of several court cases in which the local Washington tribes sought possession of the skeleton because it was one of their ancestors. The Federal court only recently agreed that it was not, and therefore the skeleton currently is being held by the Univ. of Washington.

The is an upcoming TLC or Discovery channel special that deals with European immigration to North America, something that should raise some eyelids.

Answer 4

It's established fact that the majority of native Americans are descended from Asians who crossed the Bering Straits. This is backed up by DNA evidence and archeological evidence.

Recently they've also proved that SOME Europeans also came to America and may have been here before the Asians. This again is supported by DNA and archeological evidence. A few individuals supposedly made the crossing on Arctic ice during the last Ice Age.

There is very little contradictory evidence. Occasionally a skeleton shows up that predates the supposed arrival of modern man in the Americas, but it is reasonable to assume that some small groups might have got here from time to time and died out or were wiped out by later arrivals.

Answer 5

In 1912 the Alaska Native Brotherhood was founded.

In 1971 Congress passed the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act which settled land and financial claims and provided for the establishment of 13 Alaska Native Regional Corporations to administer those claims. Similar to the status of the Canadian Inuit and First Nations, which are recognized as distinct peoples, Alaska Natives are in some respects treated separately from Native Americans in the United States.

Answer 6

Yes any anthorpologist in the area, will agree with this. Essentially, around the time of the ice age, tribal bands of people following herds of mammoths followed them into the alaskan area. At this time the Bering straight would have been a land mass either primarily formed of actual land or a plain of ice. Eventually the tribal bands made their way south as the ice age wained, in search of furthere food. As for facts that indicate this, one is the similarity inherent in Asiatic and Native American genetic structure. Furthermore this is indireclty provable as archealogical evidence of human existence on the north american continent does not exist prior to the time right around the ice age. The archeological evidence also points to the migration south which itself suggests that the tribal groups came from a certain direct which is the area that points directly to the Bering area.

Answer 7

Yes, Asians have many genetic markers that are the same as the native American Indians. They migrated over the land bridge that connected Siberia and Alaska.

Answer 8

Archeology suggests that they came from Asia through the Bering straight during the ice age

Answer 9

It is a fact. DNA evidence has proven it. All scientist agree.
