2007-06-25 09:02:13 · update #1

these are typical theories i have come across. and i don't beleive the beringia theory -i think it's a load of crock

2007-06-25 09:03:51 · update #2

the clovis theiry is just that ,truth is ...no one knows where 'clovis ' originated. it might be actually from north america and transo-oceanically travelled to europe,that ain't as ridiculous as clovis coming from europe.

for the record I DON'T believe in fairy tales.genetic evidence aside ,again I Don't believe the beringia theory also.

hey, i am part native american. There are a lot of theories.

one is that a migration of humans from Eurasia to the Americas took place via Beringia, a land bridge which formerly connected the two continents across what is now the Bering Strait. ( which you dont believe. which is okay! :-) )

another is that early immigrants would have either crossed the ocean by boat or traveled north along the Asian coast and entered America through the Northwest, well before the Siberian waves( most scientists dont believe this only because they cant research it because any findings would be at the bottom of the ocean floor)

there are many others as well, but those are the main two. hope i helped!

Most anthropologists believe that Native Americans descend from Asian peoples who migrated into North America by way of this land bridge. However......
The link below is full of genetic testing being done by Dr. Wallace, a leader in mtDNA research. From what I have read of it, it seems that his testing shows a rather large gap, genetically, that would preclude the Siberian link. His research is showing a growing link with the Polynesian peoples, which would suggest that rather than migrating via the Bering Straits from Northern Canada , the Paleo Amerinds came instead from the Pacific up into North America.
Take a good look at the second link. To my mind it makes mroe sense to link Asian/Pacific/Polynesian ancestry because of physicla and social traits that are shared.

Most theories speculate that the original Native Americans came to this land from Northern Asia by a land bridge that once bridged Asia and Alaska.

And yes, I chose to actually answer the question...even though I'm pretty positive it was just a smart-aleck comment. It's just what I do.

DNA tracing show 3-4 waves of migrations from the Bering Strait ice bridge over a span of 12,000 to 20,000 years, while one DNA tracing shows a link to Stone Age european descent (clovis people) and who are the descendants of modern-day Ojibwe Indians. You can believe fairy tails, i'm only reporting the latest scientific observations.

Look at the site which shows the path of human migration populating all the continents of the world including the migrations of native Americans from Asia.

If history can stand for itself, Native Americans are from Russia. They crossed the Bering Strait when it connected Russia to Alaska.
The people from Atlantis are supposed to be the people who helped the Egyptians with the Pyramids (if you don't believe in aliens), or the Aryan tribe. Atlantis was definitely near Europe or Africa, not near the Americas.

Well if you go back far enough, we're all from Africa...

People migrated from Africa to Asia, then accross the land bridge from Siberia to the Americas, back around the last ice age, I think (whenever there last was the land bridge there). I want to say 13,000 years ago, or thereabouts, when the cross-over came. It's more than 10,000, I think. From there they spread out over North and South America.

they are the rightful inhabitants of America... and your family murdered them and stole their land
