Its like that owl says in the Tootsie-Roll commercials...the world may never know! (At least with the archaeological record we have at the moment.) It appears at the moment that they were probably from various regions of Asia, but the question that is hotly debated right now is when they came from where ever they did come. Sites like Monte Verde and more recent ones keep us rein visioning our views.

On a side note , if you want a good laugh you should check out a professor form U of SC who claims in his site interpretation that he might have "pre-human" lithics. Man, when he said that at the conference I thought the crowd was going to beat him. Well, the ones that weren't rolling in the floor laughing.

They did not come from any country in Asia. First humans came to America around 11,000 years ago... there were no countries back then.

However, the first humans come from Africa and started spreading in the world. Some of them did go to Europe, others through what now is India and then to the South Pacific and others went north.

Now, there is only 1 possible way to answer that question with strict logic. The answer is: Rusia.

Why? take a look at your map and you will see that the country next to America up in the Artic is Rusia... so if you wanted to know where is the last territory of Asia you have to cross to land in America it will be: Chukotsky territory.

We don't have any evidence of countries, as we think of them, existing in Asia 12,000+ years ago. The migration from Asia happened long before the first cities and countries were established anywhere in the world. Since they crossed the land bridge, we're talking about modern day Russia. But there wasn't a Russia then, and the people there were certainly much different than the people living there today.

There were apparently people from Europe but the vast majority of native americans came from Asia. Based on language studies, the latest wave came originally from Tibet. They developed a very good technology in the very tough environment of the high Himalaya. These people moved from Tibet into China and then probably north across the Bering Straits or on boats. They also migrated south into Indonesia, Phillipines, Burma, Viet Nam, etc. and even to Madagascar in Africa. There were successive waves into North America. The earlier waves were from people called "old orientals" and the later waves by "new orientals." These new orientals, Sinodonts, include South American Indians, Navaho, Apache, Eskimos and others. These new orientals look very similar to Chinese.

During the age when ice connected continents, our ancestors(I am 1/4 Native American) most probably migrated from western China. Note the anthropological similarity between peoples of Alaska, Burma and Mongolia and Native Americans(for example: the slanted eyes and sparse body hair)

The most recent immigrants would be Apache. My Korean sister-in-law said she could ~understand Apache. If that is true then linguistically there's a correlation.

Before that -- we can say most immediately they crossed from eastern Asia. Type O (ABO) blood type, shovel incisors &c, and we knew before DNA.

Not sure. And at the time, those countries (purely political) would not have existed. You should look at anthropological reports of the region of the continent they might have originated from..

There is significant DNA evidence now to prove that many of them came from Europe. (Some tribes share mitochondrial DNA with Greeks.)
