This is why “native Americans” hysterically demand to rebury without examination all human remains found. The evidence is now overwhelming that the first Americans were Europeans who sailed here first. The “native Americans” are descended from a much later immigration by foot over the bearing Sea land bridge. Once here they murdered to extinction the earlier settlers. Kind of puts a kink in the whole “native Americans victimized by Europeans” schtick.
Bthat's being hysterical and quite inaccurate.

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.

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.

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.

The early Europeans “sailed” here in small boats that hugged the then-huge glacial shelf that ran from Portugal and Spain to Canada, with stops along the way at the islands in between. They never went to sea, but the boats allowed rapid travel following game. Their arrival in northern North America was thousands of land miles from Mexico and Central America, a distance that would have taken thousands of years to migrate over through rough terrain and obstacles. The finding of Clovis Points that mirror Solutrian Points from Spain cannot be a coincidence.
