Do you think the Inuits and the native Americans are of Chinese descent?

Answer 1

Most Native Americans in Canada, Western North America & Alaska are indeed Asian, but DNA tests indicate an amazing mix of migrations happened over a long period of time. Recent discoveries in Peru & other parts of South America have determined civilizations existed there at least 13,500 years ago.
Beringa, the "land bridge" accross the Bering Straight, was much more than a small strip of land from Asia to North America. Prior to the rise of the oceans (some 60 to 90 meters) this bridge was 1000s of Kilometers accross.
The strangest thing about DNA analysis is the discovery of haplogroup 'X' among some Eastern North American tribes & the Yanomamo tribe of Eastern Brazil. This DNA haplogroup is not found in East Asia, but is found in Western Europe.
To answer your question, yes I suspect "most" are of ancient Chinese ancestry, but North America has seen several migrations (probably 3). Evidence seems to indicate not all crossed over at Beringa. Many suspect they arrived in small boats or rafts from locations other than Asia.

Answer 2

No, I don't.

I had to confirm my indian ancestry by a DNA test.
Here is an example of the information collected in such a test.

From what I gather, no one actually knows, but the leading theory is: 1) humans originally descended from Africa 2) races were further divided by geographical territories (or haplogroup lineages that are defined by a genetic mutation.

The test I took showed four lineages, or haplogroups. American Indians were clearly distinct from Asian, European and African groups.

If you read the link I have provided, perhaps you can make more sense of it than I can :)

*edit 10/30/07 I see Garwy changed his answer to reflect inuit/aleut so I can agree with that but just want to state there are many other nations apart from the Inuit and southwestern indians.

One of the biggest problems with being american indian is that one is constantly categorized, miscategorized and although still living, often relegated to the history books, most of which are filled with lies. I tire so of scholarly racism

Answer 3

Inuits are sinodonts meaning Chinese teeth. That is the technical name for their race. They are believed to have originated from Tibet based on language studies and apparently migrated northward and eventually across the Bering Straits. Many native Americans such as Navajo and South Americans are also Sinodonts.

This is the best option to get a background check https://tr.im/aMLW0
Currently there are a lot of reasons to perform a criminal background check in today's community. These arguments vary from questions over a spouse's fidelity to misgivings regarding a recently hired sitter. There are several surprising figures out now that strengthen these doubts, and in many instances it is better to be safe than sorry. You may not realize it, but there can be quite a lot of people checking up on you. Potential employers top the list. Companies usually conduct background checks on job applicants primarily as a means to verify the credentials that you may have listed on your resume.

Answer 5

Asian for sure. About thirty thousand years ago the Japanese islands were one, probably connected to the Siberian peninsula also. One long "foot" so to seem. It's now believe the early people even traveled by boat along the coastline and, walked the land bridge. The Pacific ocean wasn't that large back then.
It's believed these were the first Nomadic people that followed the animals in their forgings for food, along the land bridge, or, by sea.

There is, was, a large group in Inuits that lived along the Aleutians islands, people from the wanderings.

Answer 6

there is copious dna research to indicate that the aleut, the inuit and many other native american peoples are primarily of asiatic origin (asiatic does not mean chinese though).

the same research also indicates that there is a substantial polynesian strain in many native american groupings (though not as large as the asiatic contribution).

of course the latter day saints believe that native americans are mainly jewish. this is why the cherokee speak hebrew.

Answer 7

They are Native American first and foremost. Their DNA is closer to Mongols than Chinese. Meaning that the group that crossed the baring straight was from Mongolia, not China.

Answer 8

i think they are distant descendants yes. Maybe back before the "human being" was around, but i dont see why the Neanderthals/cavemen from both regions cant be closely related
the history of the Earth shows that America was originally ajoined to the "far east"/oriental countries.

Answer 9

You have got it backwards. the native Americans were in America first, then some of them followed the buffalo to Asia via the Bering Strait and thus you may say that the Chinese and Asians are descended from them.

Answer 10

The mainstream theory say that they are a branch of the yellow race, but that does not mean that they are chineese
