[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

It seems that this entire subject is now in a complete state of confusion, chronology is in great doubt, and the ethnic origins of America are virtually totally conjecture. I will hold off on guessing until there is more widely accepted data.

[Cronos]

Valid -- I said

Who says the first Americans sailed here -- sailing wasn't well known until later. Secondly, there was no such thing as "Europeans" -- both the Mongoloid/Altaic people who the native Americans are supposedly descended from and the present day Europeans come from the same stock of humans who were cut off from Africa and spread over Eurasia. The separation of races happened only later as populations grew and people became less nomadic -- witness the Tocharians living in Xinjiang.

This only disproves any notion of people Sailing across and also points out that people from the east and west of the Eurasian continent are pretty close relatives, hence whichever way the first Americans came from, they would be closely related to both sides. And finally, there is no definite idea of a European dating back to 10,000 BC as at that time even Indo-Europeans were living in Anatolia-Central Asia-NorthWest India.

Finally, those peoples who came from the east into the Americas would have been absorbed by the ones coming from the west (or vice-versa) and the present day "native aMericans" would be descended from this mix, hence their differentiation between northern and central americans and south American natives.

This paragraph states that even if there was a migration from the east into the Americas, those people would have been assimilated -- case in point, look at turkmenistan or Azebaijan or Uzbekistan. Those people now sport Turkic languages but their genetic heritage and culture is largely Irani as the Iranis were once over all of that "greater iran"
