5,000 years ?

That is new evidence?

Whoah!

Could you lead me to a link ?

Most interesting!

http://www.merrittruhlen.com/files/1998c.pdf ~ first piece is nothing new. This was published in 1998 ~ there were a lot of other reports along this line going all the way back into the 1960s. In later literature you’ll read about the three major migrations ~ but you must remember if each one of them involved just 100 people the current population levels would still depend more on the breeding success of the descendants than on how many showed up at first landing.

Posting to you for your archive, rather than as a separate thread:

Radical theory of first Americans places Stone Age Europeans in Delmarva 20,000 years ago

Just heard of this early last week.
Sadly, it will take a generation or three to make any impact on science. The current PC culture would destroy any research in this area.

It could be a standalone topic, thanks! I’ll check it out.

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/2012/03/tracking-japans-tsunami-debris.html ~ coming from the other end of the Old World watch these various debris field movements from the Fukushima Tsunami ~ see how easy it is to ‘splain both the Haida and Tlingit Indians ~ and Japanese settlers in Central America. Now, imagine the same thing happening in the Atlantic in the Azores on a recurring basis. Nobody at all really has to walk!

Being stranded on floating debris, traveling across the pacific ocean. That would make an incredible book or movie.
