New evidence suggest that Europeans were the first native people in America

As a result of these factors the Solutrean (European originating) Native Americans were either partly absorbed by the newcomers or were substantially obliterated by them either physically or through competition for resources.Independentuk

no....would have never guess....europeans came to america kicked the indians off their land made the chinese build it and made blacks maintain it

looks like im one of the real native americans :)

Let's try to not even mention it. I still stick to Europeans, being that I have Portuguese roots...

like if americans is so much better HFkami

It's a joke actually. Euro is still worth more:)

Doesn't this have to do with the existence of the land bridge?

Because that's a pretty old theory(?).

Well isn't new to me, because Scandinavians were the first to discover america toThe_Last_Ride

You do realize the Vikings landed in North America long after the Native Americans had settled it right?

When I watch soccer I want to yell at my screen, PICK THE ****ING BALL UP!

If I was on the team I would just pick it up and plow through everyone.

You're referring to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beringia

That's on the other side of the continent.

I'm American?

I always figured the Vikings got here...took one look at North Carolina, turned around and went the hell home.

clovis tools are not new evidence they have been around and controversial for over 20 years.

There isn't really any true native people in the Americas. Humans did not evolve in the Americas.

After thousands of years I think a people can be called "native".

Considering that the land masses were all joined together centuries ago and began to drift apart during the Great Thaw when the Ice Age came to an end then it is no surprise that early humans migrated all over the planet and remained on the continents as they drifted apart over the centuries.Smokescreened84

North America was only connected to Asia, and even at that only by a narrow strip in the Bering Strait. That's a lot of walking for someone from Europe.

Still centuries, a lot of them. It isn't exactly hard to realise that early humans remained on the lands that would become known as America and be the natives there, and considering that sea going travel was still in the early stages then contact between all of the developing cultures of the species wasn't great until communication improved.Smokescreened84

You would be surprised. Native Americans were there for centuries, exactly how long is unknown, but they were there for a long time before the Europeans arrived. And farther north the Eskimo culture was in that country for a long time and still are. Chinese and Japanese beliefs hold that when their cultures migrated to those lands it was centuries ago.

There have been humans in many areas of the world for a very long time, it's pretty clear that humans migrated around the lands as they drifted apart.

Humans may be more lazy and incapable of barely walking to the bathroom without complaining that it's too much effort in this day and age, but back then humans were go-getters who went where better hunting prospects could be found.

The question we're asking here is how Europeans got there.

Well early humans did have very primitive forms of sea going travel, and I mean really primitive, back in those days so it's possible that a mass exodus of early humans travelled by early sea going travel by using shallows along the coast lines to get there.Smokescreened84

And how would they have used thoses shallows to cross oceans thousands of miles wide?

I'm native american too because I eas born here. so I m native too this land right?

I call the American Indians. Like how the gov't and they themselves officially call themselves.

native americans sounds so stupid. Try aboriginals if you're so pc.

Unless they were going across the Bering Strait they still had to cross thousands of miles of ocean. And what's more likely: that people walked thousands of miles from Europe all the way across Asia, built boats, then crossed thousands of miles of water to land in America? Or that people from northeast Asia hiked the 50 miles or so across the land bridge over the Bering Strait?
